STARS ALIGN FOR THE MOST DAZZLING SPIEGELTENT SEASON YET, WITH NEW CIRCUS SENSATION - LA RONDE
Prepare to be seduced by the world's very best variety artists.
Having taken home 14 five-star reviews in its debut season at this year's Adelaide Fringe Festival, La Ronde is set to dazzle Newcastle audiences when it headlines Spiegeltent Newcastle from 5th Sep to 5th Oct, back in Civic Park.
La Ronde will also be one of the jewels in the crown of the 2025 New Annual festival program (26 Sep - 5 Oct).
La Ronde presents a mesmerising medley of circus extraordinaries from Europe and America -featuring hair-hanging and mouth-hanging aerialists that will have your jaws dropping; a flying-pole sensation with the physical prowess of a Marvel superhero; and a vivacious darling of the European cabaret scene hitting all the right notes.
La Ronde is the latest creation from international production powerhouse Strut & Fret, renowned for their unique brand of edge-of-your seat theatre. Strut & Fret currently have shows also running at permanent venues in London and Brisbane's West End. Previous productions include the internationally acclaimed, blockbuster hits LIMBO, Blanc De Blanc and Blanc de Blanc Encore.
