Presented by Vulcana Circus, ‘Disappearing Acts’ explores the loss of biodiversity through circus, clowning, and magical sleight of hand. From 6 May to 22 May 2022, performances will be held in Nudgee Beach and nine other venues as part of the 2022 Anywhere Festival.
Disappearing Acts performances will be held at various parks and green spaces in ten venues across Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay as part of the annual Festival. The Nudgee Beach performance will take place at Nudgee Beach Environmental Education Centre at 2.30 pm.
Developed in collaboration with environmental scientist Ayesha Tulloch, the compact circus looks into the impacts of human activity on our fragile landscape and challenges us to reflect on how we value our relationship with nature, wild spaces and its inhabitants.
“…from the first moments, the experience was so positive: seated and standing outside, with suitable distancing (and even welcoming sanitiser…) it was great to gather with a small number of fellow audience members…”
