CIRCUS
NOTORIOUS STRUMPET AND DANGEROUS GIRL BY JESS LOVE Julia Mullins was a thief, a prostitute and a drunk. Jess Love is a carnie, a queer and likes a drink. Get taken in by the self-supporting arms of this astounding Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Where twisted storytelling and spectacular circus skills are shaken and stirred, with 1 part dark comedy, 1 part serenity and 3 parts honesty, hilarity and hostility. — 15/16/17 Sept @ 9.45pm 18 September @ 8.45pm 20/21/22/23/24 Sept @ 8pm 25 September @ 7pm 27/28/29/30 Sept/ 1st Oct @ 8pm 2nd Oct @ 7pm

BY NATURAL WINGS
THE FLYING XAMELS
WINNER of Best WA Circus Show at FRINGE WORLD 2016 She Dances is a contemporary circus show that combines trapezes, dance and physical comedy in a way that is both quirky and poignant. It touches on some deep themes while stunning you with intricate (and hard core) choreography. Inspiring. Awkward. Beautiful. — 15/16/17 September @ 7pm, 18 September @ 6pm
4 People. 4 Ropes. 4 Lives. They exist in the real world and they exist in the vertical world. Where do they fit? Watch as 4 very different people move on a common ground and share their very separate world, transposed and subverted into the vertical environment of the performance. A quirky aerial performance with a twist in a surrealist environment. — 20/21/22/23/24 September @ 9.45pm 25 September @ 8.45pm

Since antiquity, love has been a strong force of much art, literature, film, music and classical dance. This connects to an important question regarding how we see and feel love in our contemporary society and as well as how these can be expressed through live art. ‘Emptying the Bucket’ is a daring dance live art work that is interdisciplinary and invites the audience to look into the world of human desire to love. — 28/29/30 September 1st Oct @ 9pm Tickets $25 full $15 concession the rabbit hole

TRAIN MAN AND THE RAIL WAY BY WORD OF MOUTH THEATRE
BY PAUL BOURKE Vladimir the Crow is a scholar of horror, a conduit to all things ghastly and ghoulish, a grotesque clown and surreal song and dance man. The show is a dark, poetic, hypnotic, horror fairytale and a celebration of classic horror. “A crash course in gothic horror, Bourke finds a deft balance between comedic and terrifying.” — 28/29/30 September 1st Oct @ 9.45pm
For years, he’s been lectured by the passengers. Now he’s lecturing back. Nick Backstrom has discovered a major flaw in the train system. It’s the passengers. But this isn’t (just) about bitching - it’s about change, becoming the best damn passenger you can be. Make your journey better today! — 15/16/17 September @ 8pm 18th September @ 7pm $20 full $15 concession bluebeards den
