Follow the elements wind, water, earth and fire as they move through stages of harmony and dissonance. 

A combination of aerials and ground acts including: silks, spanish web, fire and flow arts coupled with live, original, music. Local Adelaide artists, Olio Circus and Smoke No Fire come together to blur the boundaries of traditional circus art. 

We are Adelaide based artists who come from humble beginnings and have debuted successful runs of The Otherworld (winner of The Advertiser's Best New Circus, 2019) and The Otherworld: Elements (2020). Our primary goal is to highlight local talent and to create circus based narratives that fuel the imagination.
