Pay No Attention (Sydney Opera House)
The Flying Fruit Fly Circus returns this July school holidays with a brand-new show where knockabout comedy meets breathtaking aerials. Experience the incredible talent of young performers in this high-energy circus extravaganza!
Step into a circus of contradictions, where nothing is as it seems – a kaleidoscope of illusion, disguise and reinvention. Performed by the extraordinary young artists of the Flying Fruit Fly Circus, it features breathtaking acrobatics, theatrical trickery and shifting personas – where every identity tried on, discarded or reinvented leaves a trace of who we might become.
With spectacular circus skills, sleight of hand and enigmatic performances, thirteen young acrobats pull you into a whirlpool of post-truth malarkey. Everyone has a version; no one agrees. Pay No Attention is by turns hilarious, unsettling and awe-inspiring – a circus puzzle about what it means to be seen.
