The Iron Maiden

The Iron Maiden is a funny and heart-warming show by circus performer/strong woman, Hannah Cryle, who will take you on a neon, technicolour journey of circus, lip-syncing, head banging and several costume changes…alone.

Most people have heard of the traditional circus 'Strong Man' but have no idea what it's like to be a modern circus strong man, or a circus strong woman, for that matter. So, who is the modern strong woman? And what happens when we take her out of the circus and put her on her own?

Hannah explores the notion of what it takes to be strong and brave, especially for a woman, with awe-inspiring feats of strength, aerial chains, skipping, hula-hoops and band miming (who needs multiple people for a full band anyway?), with a side of quick-witted stage banter.

At the heart of this powerful show is a distinct message of empowerment. Going it alone can be tough, but Hannah shows us that we make more ground and demand more respect as an ensemble.

Receiving rave reviews at both the Melbourne and Adelaide Fringe Festivals and a nomination for ‘Best Circus’ in its debut season, this thought-provoking and highly-entertaining show is not to be missed!

Need to know - The show is free to attend but bookings are essential.
