Fire. Acrobatics. Special effects. Comedy. And the occasional stunt that probably shouldn’t be attempted at home.
CIRCUS FIRE Spectacular is taking over Prahran Square this October, bringing four nights of high-energy, heart-racing circus to the middle of the Chapel Street precinct.
And here’s the kicker: it’s completely free.
Four Nights. Plenty Of Fire.
Presented by Chapel Street and Melbourne Fringe, CIRCUS FIRE Spectacular comes courtesy of internationally awarded ZAP Circus and husband-and-wife duo Tarrabelle and Rusty.
These two know their way around a spectacle.
Having performed around the world, they’re bringing their signature mix of fire, acrobatics, special effects and razor-sharp comedy to Prahran Square for four nights only.
Expect big tricks, bigger flames and stunts so wild even the performers might want to look away.
Circus, But Turn The Heat Up
This isn’t your sit-quietly-and-clap-politely kind of circus.
CIRCUS FIRE Spectacular packs its action into 45 minutes, combining genuinely impressive circus skills with plenty of laughs and enough fire to make your eyebrows nervous.
It’s fast. It’s funny. It’s a little bit dangerous.
Just how we like our Thursday nights.
Make A Night Of It
With the show kicking off after dark, consider this your excuse to turn a trip to the circus into a proper Chapel Street night out.
Grab dinner in Prahran beforehand, wander over to the Square for the show, then keep things going with a drink afterwards.
Date night? Sorted.
Night out with the crew? Even better.
Bringing the family? They’ll probably be talking about the fire all the way home.
