Set deep in an imagined wilderness where shadows flicker and the unknown lurk just beyond the firelight, Campfire at the Adelaide Fringe Festival delivers a delightfully spooky circus adventure that blends physical theatre, aerial work, acrobatics and slapstick comedy into a fast-paced and entertaining hour.

The premise is simple yet effective. Two hapless campers venture into the bush only to find themselves stalked by a peculiar and creepy spirit that seems determined to disrupt their trip. This show leans gleefully into an odd combination of horror tropes and absurd comedy as the narrative unfolds through movement rather than dialogue. The performers using circus skills and expressive physical storytelling to chart their increasingly bizarre misadventures in the wilderness.
