In Motion

Theatre and Physical Theatre • Circus
South Australia • World Premiere

Blurring the lines of circus, dance and theatre, follow a story of grief and self-discovery to explore the ups, downs and at times absurdity of rebuilding ourselves after loss. In an exploration of the unpredictability of feelings and our expectations of them, Virago Circus' new work pushes the boundaries of circus and physical theatre, presenting the complicated process of grieving embodied through a series of movement acts in a show where live art meets life. Starring Nicole Walker, Stephanie Ianella, Rachael Howes, Stella May, Sam Matthewman and Jasmine Warland, join us for a night of aerial, dance and storytelling in a circus theatre show unlike you've seen before, as we ask: when we find ourselves in the passenger seat of life, should we fight for the wheel or try to enjoy the ride?

Presented by: Nicole Walker and Jasmine Warland

Established in 2021, Virago Circus have performed multiple sold-out, 5 star reviewed shows. As a female lead group, they represent the strength and power of women, expressed through creativity, dance and movement.
