Cirque Empire

Cirque Empire, a dazzling new circus spectacular, is making its world premiere at QPAC's Glasshouse Theatre from February 5 - 14, 2027, set to transport audiences into a glamorous world of 1920s New York, gravity-defying acrobatics and larger-than-life entertainment.

This lavish new production brings together an international cast of elite circus performers, aerial artists and acrobats for a theatrical spectacle inspired by the decade of decadence. Think glitz, glamour, extraordinary feats of human strength and plenty of jaw-dropping moments.

The impressive line-up includes Duo Paradise performing a breathtaking pas de deux, The Reyes Brothers with their gravity-defying juggling act, aerial straps sensation Viktoriia Bubnova and hand-balancing extraordinaire Valentin Chetverkin. Also taking to the stage are the high-flying Zapata Brothers on teeterboard and Duo Sirca Marea with a spectacular aerial cradle performance.

Adding to the spectacle is choreography by award-winning Australian creative director Kelley Abbey, whose impressive career spans international television and film, including So You Think You Can Dance and the Academy Award-winning Happy Feet.

Created by entertainment producers Tim Lawson and Simon Painter, the duo behind international sensations The Illusionists, Cirque Alice and Now You See Me Live, Cirque Empire marks their ninth circus production together, following internationally successful shows including Le Noir and Circus 1903.

For those wanting to get right into the action, there's even a VIP on-stage seating experience, putting guests right in the middle of the spectacle!
