After five-star seasons at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival and in London last year and following a sold-out season at QPAC in 2023, Breaking the Castle returns to Brisbane in 2025.

Described as “the most significant theatre production audiences may ever experience”, it follows the story of David, a struggling actor whose life is a chaotic blend of substance abuse, Shakespearean soliloquies, failed auditions, and debilitating mental health. David takes himself to the brink, until an unlikely lifeline offers hope in the mountains of South-East Asia.

A genuine work of empathy, Breaking the Castle is an extraordinary, often hilarious, and true story about the indomitable nature of the human spirit.

Keep in Touch! is a circus show that jumps back and forth between the real and the virtual. This narrative on kinetic energy and the body is embellished with thrilling and exciting circus feats integrated into a never-before-seen giant arc shaped prop, contemporary dance, and variety acts. It discusses methods of connection in a time of changes caused by technology and, as social relationships become increasingly estranged despite being brought “closer” by such technology, how to regain a hold over the self, which has been led astray by the digital wave and the information explosion.

Magic, mayhem, and many things gone wrong!
Hold onto your hats because this magic show is about to pop right off!!

Step into the charming and comical universe of FRITZ, an eccentric and loveable magician’s rabbit. Witness the unfolding of a ‘one-rabbit show‘ as FRITZ earnestly strives to recreate the mesmerizing magic tricks of their suddenly vanished Magician Madame Magica.

FRITZ is a non-stop, high-energy 50-minute roller coaster ride of the ridiculous. Fuelled by slapstick, object puppetry, and clowning, this heart-warming story is hilarious entertainment from start to finish for the whole family.

Created and performed by physical comedy mastermind Emilie Bloom and skilfully directed by Die Roten Punkte’s multi-award-winning Clare Bartholomew.

Winner of last year’s weekly award - #Since1994 is a truly mesmerising show. Such talent, inventiveness and energy. There were several incredible points where the entire audience (of adults, teens and kids) gasped out loud. There didn’t seem to be a clear linear narrative to the show, but it was immersive and absorbing enough to stand without one, and each vignette was impressive in its own way. The cast took their final bow to a standing ovation and whoops of delight. Five stars
