By MAXIMA

FEARLESS returns for a limited season to open the WA Regional Arts summit.

We have ALL experienced fear – That feeling that simply grabs you, holds you back from doing something, that takes over you and shakes you to your very core, the fear that makes you feel alive…

FEARLESS is an action packed, exciting and magical show for the whole family. Featuring daring aerials, suspension, flying and falling, enjoy watching our world class performers as they face their inner fears, and share their darkest secrets to emerge FEARLESS, joyously unafraid of this crazy, wild and wonderful thing called life!

… This performance by MAXIMA combines circus, theatre, clowning and shadow-play to explore the challenges of fear – the things that hold you back, that cause a visceral reaction, that let you know you’re alive. The cast alternate between death-defying circus stunts and surrealist theatre, set to a beautifully lo-fi live score that sets the eerie tone of the work and which combined with the sparse set and minimalist costumes sets the tone and works perfectly with the show’s themes. (OUT in PERTH)

Fearless will leave you staggered by the cast’s strength, grace and control. A youthful and intimate performance, Fearless is the perfect fit for families, young children, and punters new to circuses. (THE WEST AUSTRALIAN)
