Circus Oz Unpacks Their Model Kit World At QPAC

Australia's national circus company, Circus Oz, returns to the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) with a brand new show, Model Citizens, tumbling into The Playhouse from 12 to 15 April 2017.

Audiences will be taken on a visually and emotionally charged journey by the multi-talented Circus Oz ensemble, exploring what it really means to be a Model Citizen in our 'lucky' country today.

Set in a beautiful yet chaotic model kit world, Model Citizens seamlessly blends the risk, beauty and rawness of acrobatic circus with pumping live music, stunning lighting, breath taking physical improbability and no shortage of absurdity.

In the first creation to be directed by Circus Oz's new Artistic Director, Rob Tannion, Model Citizens breaks conventions of scale, as oversized everyday objects open up an intriguing world of possibilities taking on new life as exciting and unexpected circus equipment.

Delighting itself into the hearts of generations of audiences for nearly four decades, Circus Oz embraces its role as Australia's National Circus.

Artistic Director Rob Tannion said Model Citizens celebrates the foundation and ethos of Circus Oz while taking the company on a new journey.

"Audaciously unpacking the myths of modern Australia, Model Citizens aims to challenge our preconceptions of the creative process and expectations of what our audiences will see and experience on stage", said Tannion.

Circus Oz's rock-n-roll, animal free performances, loved by both adults and children alike, celebrates breath-taking stunts, irreverent humour, cracking live music and their all human ensemble, promoting the best of the Australian spirit: generosity, diversity, death-defying bravery and a fair go for all.
