The UNSW Circus Society

The Elixir Carnivale


Circusoc's new show, the Elixir Carnivale is a piece devised to push the boundaries of UNSW's performance scene. Combining the best early 19th century burlesque with modern circus and carnival sideshow you wouldn't want your mother to see, this show is sexy and sassy, and more than a little bit dangerous and shocking.
Running from the 19th to the 23rd of August, this short run features live music and a talented cast performing burlesque, circus and sideshow. Bookings can be made now.

Circusoc has a tradition of diversity, creativity and sharing within an environment that supports physical theatre and skill development. Just as it takes several people to build a human pyramid it takes as many people to create a performance. On stage, backstage, or in administration, these many hands work together to bring fun, fervour, and fire to life...
We nurture and support aspiring performers - from acrobats and contortionists, to clowns, fire-breathers, jugglers, magicians and stilt-walkers – providing members opportunities to work with established industry performers and circus groups.
From full-length shows and corporate functions to private parties, we offer competitive pricing and a professional attitude.
