The show that heralded a renaissance within the new circus movement returns! ????? The Sunday Telegraph WINNER ‘Best Independent/Melbourne Fringe Production’ Green Room Award WINNER ‘Most Outstanding Production Award’ Melbourne Fringe Festival Voted #5 of ‘10 Best Theatre Experiences’ Pittsburgh Post Gazette Contemporary circus luminaries Derek Ives (CIRCUS OZ) & Azaria Universe (CIRCUS OZ, BURLESQUE HOUR) join forces with Jess Love (LA SOIREE, LA CLIQUE) and DJ Garner (CIRQUE DU SOLEIL) to create – THE CANDY BUTCHERS, a darkly humorous voyage into a neo-vaudevillian world of an imaginary sideshow era, combining high level circus with pathos, drama and tragedy. THE CANDY BUTCHERS is at once delicately touching, visually enchanting and physically impressive. The Candy Butchers was born from a desire to delve deep into the world of old time circus and physical story telling to create a Refreshingly dark, high -risk human spectacle blending the perverse with the poetic to create circus with a heart… a twisted black one! ‘Candy-Coated Circus Maxiumus perform awe inspiring and exquisitely executed physical feats. It is sexy, angsty and gasp inducing’ THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
