ALT-CIRCUS FOR THE UNHOLY

Apocrypha (a-) n. Hidden writings, works outside the accepted canon of scripture, social outsiders who do not fit the norm.

Enter the world of Apocrypha, the new ensemble show from circus provocateur Mitch Jones (AutoCannibal, Slava’s Snowshow, Circus Oz) that journeys beyond the canon of mainstream culture.

See the tightrope walker dance along rusty chains, while the acrobat spins hula hoops which blacken his body with painted scars and contortionists balance precariously on weeping bluestone boulders.

Inspired by cult cinema, erotic fiction and the work of Jean Genet, this stunning new work of alt-circus explores the limits of our bodies, finding moments of beauty among the outcast and the unholy.

Apocrypha is a death defying exploration of desire and counterculture that will linger long after the final curtain falls.
