THEATRE

The Almost Completely Terrible Tale Of Felicity Footin

Felicity Footin is a new employee at the corporate level of a soft toy company. To be successful, she is going to have to embrace the company rhetoric! You know, have a marvellously passive and indirect approach to all communication, workplaces don’t thrive on clarity or transparency, after all, do they?

No one wants other people to be deliberately upfront or direct, especially at work! No one expects anyone to actually get things done quickly. There are always policies, procedures and protocols, to ensure employees don’t. Felicity does her best to embrace the company motto, ‘no sharp edges’! But, as she too begins to sweep things under the company carpet, wherever that is, she may lose the love of her life Fergus Forthwith.

Where: Studio at Subiaco Arts Centre

When: February 9th – 12th.

PUSSY

Pussy (noun):

1. A vagina
2. An offensive term describing a timid, passive person, usually in reference to a male
3. A cat.

Explore the many expressions of PUSSY and get blown away as we twist, tickle, and tantalise the moist crevices of the mind in this salacious, stimulating, and weirdly educational, cathartic cabaret.

Come for the riot, but stay for the self-love, vanquishing of the shame, saving of the world, conquering of the divine, and all the universal transcendence that one could reasonably achieve in 60 minutes.

Females, males, neither, both, those who haven’t made up their minds, and cats all welcome.

Where: The Planet Royale

Abracadabra and Other Useless Magic Words

A magic workshop for kids aged eight to eighty!

Perth’s favourite party magician, Jon Madd takes you on a retrospective journey to the very first magic trick he learnt when he was just seven years old. Over the past three decades, this deceptively simple trick has evolved into a powerful and versatile performance tool, still used in Jon’s working repertoire today at birthdays, weddings, festivals and corporate functions. There is deep thought of subtle magic psychology, as well as practical tips to help make you the life of any party!

CIRCUS

 

Circus After Dark

READ OUR 4.5 STAR 2022 REVIEW HERE

What do circus performers get up to after the curtains have closed? Find out in this adults-only cabaret that explores the darker, sexier, and funnier side of circus!

Hosted by Mr. Boylesque Australia 2017 Karl Kayoss, Circus After Dark is a carnival that will exceed all your expectations. High-flying aerial acts, contortion that’s as mind-bending as it is spine-bending, duo acrobatics that will set your heart on fire, and burlesque performances that make you see circus artists in a whole new light!

This is circus as you’ve never seen it before; stripped bare, tossed in glitter, and flipped on its head in an intoxicating infusion that’s both shaken and stirred!

Join us for an unmissable night of circus entertainment starring an all-star cast of saucy and surprising acrobats and aerialists.

OFF CHOPS

Hold me tight, Hydralyte.

From the Makers of multi-award-winning YUCK Circus comes a party fit for a pop-up tent. Expect a wild time reminiscent of the dance floor cardio you never knew you needed, and the 3am stagger home you couldn’t avoid. Come along for a riot of comedy, high-flying acrobatics, and trashy dancing.

Drink plenty of water, it’s gonna get sweaty.
