This show belongs to the Adelaide Fringe 2024 season. This season is now over.

Three people looking at the camera, head and shoulders visible. The woman in the centre is powerful, in a red spiked headdress and red dress, with a cheeky look on her face. On either side is a shirtless man, one with arms folded, a small amount of make up and muscles bulging. The other has a elaborate eye make up, a cheeky look on his face, and lacy gloves held up to his face.
Two performers throw an acrobat high into the air with their arms up ready to catch her
Two people do a breakdance style handstand while holding hands, with an array of performers behind them in a red light.

Circus for grown ups. 

Winner of Best Circus at Adelaide Fringe 2020, Rouge returns to Adelaide! A decadent blend of sensational acrobatics, operatic cabaret and tongue in cheek burlesque.
