The Détectives in Cirque Noir

Circus • Clown
Victoria • SA Premiere

From the internationally acclaimed Dummies Corp, comes a killer circus comedy unlike you’ve ever seen. 

Set in a bygone era of cheap dames and dirty dicks this noir mystery is one you chumps won’t want to miss! Featuring a smooth blend of “ awe inspiring acrobatics” (The Age), shaken with “Charlie Chaplin-esque slapstick gold” (Timeout), a dash of burlesque and some high-flying aerial, this farcical cocktail makes for a delicious night out. “10/10 … for originality, execution and pure entertainment. ... it's just so darned clever” (Weekend Notes). 

“The Détectives in Cirque Noir is a ... hilarious, always-spectacular romp featuring three of Australia’s greatest clowns in a show that makes a mockery of Chandler and a hero of Buster Keaton."(Theatre Travels).
