The Secret Circus a futuristic window where solo theatre, spoken word and live music join and implode.

Secret Circus is a series dedicated to spotlighting the talents of recognized and rising heavyweights in contemporary theatre, music and performance art.The Circus celebrates what emerges from a world where false boundaries are enforced (in force) and bodies must push out in response.
Our first series was 5 weeks, 5 different shows, over 20 different artists.
Join us, take a look inside the tent - there is chaos and genius walking side by side.
