Wonderland Under The Stars is an open air tropical amphitheatre event space in Rex Smeal Park.
A Simple Space is simultaneously raw, frantic and delicate.
A brilliant show, fun for the whole family. Supported by driving live percussion and presented so intimately that you can feel the heat, hear every breath and be immersed in every moment.
A Simple Space evokes real responses in audiences, something visceral rather than cerebral. Instead of fine tuning the performance with makeup, lighting and contrived theatrical overlay, the cast have deliberately gone the other way. The audience is brought in close to surround the stripped back stage. In that space the acrobats are pushed to the physical limit, breaking down their usual guards and introducing the reality of failure and weakness. With nothing left to hide behind, personal narratives come through naturally. This honest is the essence behind A Simple Space.
