This show belongs to the Adelaide Fringe 2026 season. This season is now over.

Three performers on a white gradient background, each in a different bright primary color costume. A red performer in a handstand, a blue performer jumping holding a unicycle, and a yellow performer juggling 7 balls.
Three performers look at the camera with a raw egg in the shell in their mouths.
A performer does a one-arm handstand on another performer's head, why a third performer points. The performer with the other person on their head has his hands over his mouth, as if he just learned a secret he can't say!

I Think It Could Work

What in our lives happens by chance? What happens on purpose?

From the mischievous minds of Full Out Formula comes “I Think It Could Work” — a courageous and intimate leap into unexpected heartbreak, mistakes, and consequences.

With innovative acrobatics and unflinching trust, this Chicago-based contemporary circus trio invites you into a speculative world where your choices decide their destiny.

★★★★★ - "A joyful, surprising, and quietly thrilling show. Intimate without being awkward, impressive without being showy. Easily a must-see on the fringe calendar." Perth Happenings

★★★★★ - "Don't miss it." Fringe Feed

★★★★ "Delightful... a multi-layered piece full of physical prowess and wit." The Stage

★★★★ "At the start of this utterly charming show, we’re a group of strangers… By the end, not only do we feel like a community – we’re actually part of the troupe" The Scotsman, 2025

"So unexpected and entertaining... fresh and playful approach to circus, with oodles of personality." The List 2025
