Fresh from its sold-out Brisbane Festival season, Cirque Bon Bon will set the Canberra Theatre alight this August, transforming it into a cauldron of excitement, drama and hilarity for a strictly limited season.

Led by world-renowned comedy emcee, Mario, Queen of the Circus, a multi-talented cast of mind bending contortionists, awe inspiring acrobats, and sensational dancers will deliver an exhilarating showcase of skill, artistry, and entertainment, combining death defying feats and tricks that will leave audiences of all ages clamouring for more.

Cirque Bon Bon is the brainchild of former Cirque Du Soleil Assistant Creative Director, Ash Jacks (McCready)  and Choreographer Julieann Nugent, and together this dynamic duo seamlessly combine beauty with bravery to create a 75-minute show guaranteed to entertain and astonish.

With over 20 years of industry experience, the talented ensemble masterfully captures all the sophisticated and challenging elements of Cirque Bon Bon’s extreme physicality, while creating a lavish cabaret style circus experience.

McCready:

I’ve taken shows like this all over the world for the last 14 years and we’re using every last trick in the book to make this show something you just can’t look away from.

Since its debut, Cirque Bon Bon has achieved remarkable success including sold out seasons at Brisbane Powerhouse and Southbank Piazza during Brisbane Festival as well as Adelaide Cabaret Festival.
