WINNER OF ADELAIDE FRINGE 2024

Weekly Award!

Direct from Taiwan, a Truly Mesmerising Show!

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!

The skill level in this sophisticated, alluring performance by the innovative, female-led Eye Catching Circus is sky-high, but spectacle isn't the top priority. Expect instead a questioning, stereotype-busting group portrait of a handful of women, all under 30 and each trying to maintain her balance in a contemporary society loaded with expectations. Sometimes competitive but often mutually supportive, they tumble, roll, contort, collapse, sashay or hang, suspended from a symbolic frame all in an effort to find their truest selves. A rite of passage and a voyage of self-discovery.
