After their much lauded premiere season in 2018, AfterDark Theatre return with 'Society' - featuring a sensational ensemble of highly skilled international Cirque artists, new acts, and a live four piece band. It's back, it's badder, it's bigger.
Influenced by the city of New Orleans and its best party on earth, the Mardi Gras, in the past these infamous festivities were hosted by secret societies competing to uphold the most lavish party in their quarter. Blending Cajun party culture, French exuberance, Creole Voodoo, Masquerade, and breathtaking acrobatics, 'Society' at Melbourne Fringe also features iconic Australian band Funk Buddies. Set to be one of the Festival's biggest party shows, nothing is off limits!
With a star-studded international cast including world renowned Latin Ballroom and Ballet dancers, a competitive Gymnast, Circus Oz and Flying Fruit Fly Circus alumni, and graduates of Melbourne's prestigious National Institute of Circus Arts performing a mesmerizing mix of contortion, acrobatics, aerial, manipulation, juggling, and dance across the evening, 'Society' delivers audiences a visual feast like no other.
Running since 2007, AfterDark Theatre has built a solid reputation as a high-end design and production company, offering Australian Circus lovers a veritable feast of superior quality shows and events. Previous award-winning productions include 'Pants Down Circus', 'Sediment', 'BARBAROI', 'Element of Consequence', and The Boardwalk Republic; the original Southside hub during Melbourne Fringe. Continuing with that trend, AfterDark Theatre now proudly presents 'Society', a colourful, vibrant, and joyous tribute to the Bourbon Street Circus and the wild nightlife of the French Quarter.
