Le Freak!

Circus • Political
Victoria • SA Premiere

'Le Freak' is sideshow as you've never seen before - told from the inside!
After centuries of exploitation circus artists are pushing back - world-class queer, disabled, and sex worker performers sharpen their swords and their stilettos to take down capitalism. This silly and profound show that celebrates difference and empowers the 'freaks' will have you sitting on the edge of your seat between discomfort and excitement! 
Off the back of an award winning Melbourne season you don't want to miss this exhilarating experience, packed with all the freakiest and most daring stunts. 
Join us to fan the fires of the revolution - one sequin at a time.
