Circus Quirkus is a modern take on traditional circuses of the past. The circus is one of the fundraising bodies of International Entertainment, an organisation that works on behalf of IDFA (Immune Deficiencies Foundation Australia). By purchasing a ticket to one of their shows, donors enable children and families whose lives are difficult due to illness, disability or poverty, to have a great few hours of first-rate entertainment. Circus Quirkus performers include Kane Peterson (tight-wire), Jess McCrindle (tight-wire and hoops) and Haileyesus Wendesen (bounce juggler). The Arena, Geelong – August 5 & Ulumbarra Theatre, Bendigo – August 6. Ticketing information is available through circusquirkus.com.au.
