Overview
Carnival of the Animals whisks you away on a thrilling circus escapade inspired by Camille Saint-Saëns' delightful salute to feathers, fur and fins. Bringing this classical music suite to life for a new generation of circus, music and animal lovers, Carnival of the Animals captivates with whimsical tales of creatures of the land and sea.
Circa’s world-famous acrobats are joined by eight exceptional young artists from Brisbane. Together they fly, tumble, leap and spin their way through the wondrous worlds of the animal kingdom in this re-imagined production.
