Poncho Circus present Underground

Canberra’s newest Circus company present there sell out show Underground one more time at the Belconnen community Theater. Poncho Circus is a group of skilled, young performers from Canberra’s very own Warehouse Circus. All ten of the troupe’s performers are multi talented acrobats, each proficient in a number of disciplines while also specialising in their own unique skill set such as handstands, juggling, tumbling and trapeze.

Their show Underground explores a world where circus is banned. With acts that combine the style and choreography of companies like CIRCA with a fresh sense of humor and a fantastic sound track written and performed by the circus performers themselves.

This is a serious circus show that doesn’t take it’s self to seriously.

At the Belconnen Community Theater
Tonight (Friday) only 7 Pm
Suitable for all ages

Tickets available here http://warehousecircus.org.au/circus-for-life/poncho-circus-presents-underground/
