help of serial surrealist Shanaka Fernando and friends, you will see
and feel the Dreams of the Chicken.
'BIRDMANN'
Trent Bauman

and is reminiscent of Houdini, Chaplin, and Dada.
"FABARET"

All the way from Sweden, Finland the famous cabaret
superstars Svenn & Svetta are now here in Australia.
An electic mix of new vaudeville, sexy circus and sideshow.
"THE BELLBOY"
Daniel Oldaker
A nostalgic piece of theatre with an ersatz twist of contemporary
circus, The Bell Boy is a service man with too many suitcases and not
enough time on his hands.
THE FAMOUS 'ELASTIC BAND BOY'
Shay Horay
With a world record amount of elastic bands on his face and
also "New Zealand Pogostick champion". sHAY hORAY is the
freakiest boy in show business, he's so funny he should have been twins!
"THE SNAIL EXPERIENCE"
Martin Renaud
Directly from the garden, naughty snails dance and paint in this
multimedia XP with a soundscape of their own crawling and bubbling,
composed by Greg Long.
"OCTOPUSSY PEEP SHOW" X X X (adults only)
+ Late night chill out DJs
The peep hole allows a partial vision of the
performance, opening the doors of imagination
to complete the picture. Whatever is happening
is in your mind!
