Come and rub a little Rouge on your 2025 Fringe Season!

Rouge returns to Gluttony (The MOA) for its 8th and FINAL performance – so you really don’t want to miss out.

They say it isn’t over until the fat lady sings, or, in this case, the beautiful yet haunting Aurora Kurth (@aurora_kurth) sings! I never knew there was such a thing as “Adults only Opera” until I saw Rouge.

Rouge gives itself permission to allow all your twisted and dark fantasies to come to life! Each and every performer has something different and unique to offer.

Whether it’s Cirque Du Sol-FREAK that you’re into or soft, romantic dance performances that breathe fire into your soul – Rouge has all of this and more.

Rouge describes itself as a “circus for adults”. Try to imagine if Burlesque was directed by Tim Burton

Rouge is a cabaret spectacular like none other. The show provides a platform for LGBTQIA+ performances that celebrate love, sexuality and ferocity. The acrobatic numbers will leave you both gasping and blushing.  

If you’re looking for a must-see show at this year’s Adelaide Fringe Festival – Rouge is not one to be missed! You won’t get the opportunity again so run, don’t walk!
