 INSIDE OUT – Festival of the Arts 7.30 p.m. Thursday 4 March at the State Opera House

This event is recommended for 10 years + but CTMS are offering this to Years 4 – 8 children only.

Review:

"Once I've let go of my trapeze and I'm in the air, I'm past the point of no return...I surrender myself and trust the catcher to correct the
error..."

Inside out is an exhilarating creation from Sweden's dynamic and contemporary circus ensemble, Cirkus Cirkör. A dazzling combination
of phenomenal acrobatic feats, bewitching storytelling and video imagery, this unforgettable production is an exploration of life, death,
and the fears that bind us all. Set to an intoxicating live performance from Swedish rock group Irya's Playground, this is a true
celebration of the circus arts - infused with seduction, humour and a whole lot of heart.

Two people trapped in their own definition of safety and success find their lives turned upside down when they encounter a circus
company of charming and bizarre characters. Spectacular acrobatics, trapeze, clowning, mime, magic and illusion are delivered with
cocky commitment from the talented performers, defying gravity, logic, and predictability at every turn.

Cirkus Cirkör was founded in Stockholm in 1995 with a desire to change the world through circus. It soon evolved from an underground
movement with a cult following, to a formidable circus ensemble that has toured the world to rave reviews. Be inspired and transformed
by this mind-blowing production - Inside out dares you to take your fear by the hand, and jump.

I give permission for my child to attend the above event. Staff will be supervising
children at this event.
