Mr Three by Formosa Circus Art at NICA at National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA)

For the first time, the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) is the home of circus for Melbourne Fringe Festival 2023 with the support of the Australia Council for the Arts, the State Government of Victoria, Melbourne Fringe, and the City of Stonnington.

NICA will support independent artists and small to medium companies to present works within NICA’s renowned venue, the NICA National Circus Centre, in Prahran.

From Taiwan’s Formosa Circus Art (FOCA) comes the Australian premiere of Mr Three (Mr. IIIIII). A juggling, music, and acrobatic adventure about ditching the suit and tie and reclaiming joy. Formosa Circus Art is named after the beautiful island, Taiwan. Established in 2011, its purpose is to develop the various contemporary circus arts of Taiwan, mixing them with other styles of performance including traditional forms, acrobatics, street culture and theatre arts, creating a physical vocabulary that is unique for many audiences to experience.
