Come for a Visit, Stay for a Show, Down by the River... RCC is back at Pinky Flat / Tarnda Womma for the second year. Offering more of the same festival vibe Adelaide has come to know and love about RCC… but with a whole new look & feel! Presenting an eclectic international program, we welcome back some Fringe favourites, including Gravity & Other Myths’ smash hit – A Simple Space, multi-award winning Swamp Juice, the stunning We Live by the Sea and 2018 Fringe sellout 360 Allstars. New works and Adelaide premiers by Tumble Circus, Josh Glanc, Damien Calinan and Alfie Ordinary and Adelaide’s own Carla Lippis returns home for a very special intimate performance experience – Midnight Marauders, and the jawdropping Circus Abyssinia: Ethiopian Dreams will all be crowd pleasers.

A new addition to the RCC line up is Big River Motel (BRM), an immersive entertainment precinct of live music, interactive performance & late-night frivolities! Hosting RCC’s signature head-liner DJ and electronic music acts and boasting a star-studded line up BRM will be 12 nights of open-air concerts across every weekend of the Fringe 2018 season. BRM will also be the gateway to the hugely popular after dark playground Neon Forest for those who dare to enter… We look forward to welcoming you to our new playground with something suited for all tastes, come enjoy a meal prepared by some of Adelaide’s finest and take advantage of the daily RCC happy hour between 5-6pm for discounted tickets, food & drinks.

PRESENTED BY BIBI AND BICHU

C I R C U S & P H Y S I C A L T H E AT R E ETHIOPIA / UNITED KINGDOM

An unashamedly joyful mix of astounding stunts and enchanted adventure, this show is the magical journey of two little Ethiopian brothers (Bibi and Bichu) whose dream of joining the circus is made real by the Man in the Moon. Plunged into a world of daredevil wonders, they encounter a host of other circus dreamers: dancing, contorting, gravity-defying figures, all weaving tales of their own. Featuring the inimitable Konjowoch Troupe, the show is a surreal retelling of how the cast dreamed of the circus in a country without one and created a phenomenal new Ethiopian tradition.

C I R C U S & P H Y S I C A L T H E AT R E — Q L D

The heart is in control. The signals generated by its rhythmic activity determine the quality of our emotional experience from moment to moment. Circus artist Marianna Joslin was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, a rare heart condition that went undiagnosed for years. Transformed, twisted, transplanted, cut open and sewn back together. How does such an experience shapes one’s life? This is an exploration of the heart… through circus. Modern acrobatics with a heart beating rhythm.

Monsteria is mischievous, monstrous, delicate, revengeful, ridiculous, and circus! Three performers are exploding at the seams, barely contained, and leaking clues to their identity as they trample through tropes! Who are these women as they unburden themselves of layers of artifice? Revealing feminine bodies in pieces, turning them upside down, stretching them to breaking point, laughing at this ludicrous posturing, how long can their true selves remain concealed? Circus to be amazed by, Circus to wonder at, Circus to be challenged by.

“THESE GUYS AND GIRLS ARE SURE OF THEMSELVES, DOING THINGS WITH THEIR BODIES MOST OF US COULDN’T EVEN DREAM OF.” — THE ADVERTISER
