What adventures will happen from sunset to dawn?
Following on from the success of previous shows Tempo and Spherical, Big Sky is the premiere of a new up-close circus experience from 12 remarkable young performers aged between 10 and 18.
Kids in regional Australia grow up under a big sky, surrounded by space, allowed to run free. But for some kids growing up in a country town can be claustrophobic and limiting. Big Sky unfolds over a single night, from sunset to dawn and follows 12 unforgettable characters as they look forward to their futures, show off, get spooked, prank each other and get up to mischief. Featuring the phenomenal circus skills of the world-renowned Flying Fruit Fly Circus in a show performed by kids, for kids.
