Gasworks Arts Park, a southside performance hub for Midsumma Festival, will play host to a sizzling summer circus and burlesque show this February. Rouge promises to provide just the right kind of firey fun that we love to see during Melbourne's annual queer arts and culture festival in the form of an adults-only variety show.
This spicy show invites audiences into a world where astonishing stunts mingle with supremely sexy performances, where every glance and gesture promises forbidden delights and audacious surprises. It's a pulsating blend of raw sensuality, playful allure, and acrobatic prowess that will leave audiences breathless – all executed by a troupe of wickedly talented new age circus and burlesque performers.
“Rouge loves to break conventions and smash gender stereotypes,” says director Elena Kirschbaum. “So it’s much, much more than simply sexy circus – it’s delightfully subversive, highly inclusive and has quite a few surprises.”
With accolades including Best Circus at the 2020 Adelaide Fringe, a star turn at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and critical acclaim from across the globe, Rouge challenges and seduces in equal measure.
Rouge is playing at Gasworks Arts Park from February 6-10 as part of Midsumma Festival. Tickets cost between $17.73-40.52 and you can grab yours here.
