Having humble beginnings in 2008 as a black- light theatre company, AfterDark Theatre created its Debut Circus show ‘Runtime Error’. This was, at the time a ground-breaking performance, fusing black light illusionary techniques with physical theatre and circus. In 2009 ADT produced the production of ‘Limbo – requiem’, which was an inter-art circus piece utilising puppetry and advanced lighting techniques.
Since then, ADT have become Circus producing veterans and have produced and or designed a number of award- winning productions, including in their portfolio Barbaroi, PDC Rock!, They Say She’s Different, Trash Test Dummies, Pappilion, We Should Quit, Element of Consequence, By a Thread, Society, Rebel, and Hochie Mumma; After Dark Theatre's running resident circus cabaret in Fitzroy.
