Heralding from the other side of Asia, CIRQUEWORK brings Adelaide Fringe goers a brand new circus act that boasts the wonders of Japan. YOAH features 7 talented performers who take to The Moa at Gluttony to share their wondrous skills and talents.

Integrating stunning light and sound features into their show, the performance blends traditional and non-traditional circus art forms for an astounding hour of amazement. Featuring aerial silks, trapeze work, and chair climbing, audiences can’t help but be wowed by their skills. 

Despite some minor technical difficulties and slip ups on the night of this particular review, the performers maintain the energy of the crowd throughout the show, building on the applause to empower their acts. 

One of the core highlights of the show is Yusaku Mochizuki, an immensely talented juggling artist whose diabolo skills are unmatched by any other performer in the fringe. His enthusiasm and approach to performing are a testament to his craft, and you can’t help but be enthralled by his skills. His choreography perfectly aligns with the production, showing how a mere childrens toy can be mastered to such a high level. 

Using light and shadows to accentuate the depth of their performance, YOAH is an impressive display of culture and art. Get your tickets now!
