YOAH returns to the Adelaide Fringe Festival this year direct from Japan, after a very successful 2024 season.


The latest offering by Cirquework - a new style of circus combining bold digital effects with mind blowing physical stunts, all to an electrifying soundtrack.
Comprised of five talented performers showcasing the cloud swing, aerial silks, juggling and chair acrobatics, YOAH transports the audience into a world of breathtaking artistry, innovative gymnastics, and vibrant storytelling.

The precision and skill of the performers are truly remarkable, seamlessly blending traditional Japanese circus elements with a modern flair.
While the stunts and tricks will have you jaw-dropped (and also have you viewing diabolos in a completely different light!), what truly sets this spectacle apart from your run of the mill circus shows is the lighting and digital effects. These effects add another layer to the performance, almost becoming an individual performer in itself.

The sound track is impressive blending traditional Japanese drumming with natural water sounds and electro music.

Captivating adults and children alike, YOAH is definitely a display not to be miss in 2025. Showing right up until the end of the Adelaide Fringe Festival, make sure you add this spectacle to your must-see list before they leave town!
