It’s Launch time for this epic space adventure.

‘Into Space’ is a new mainstage ensemble circus show, designed for a family audience. The show is epic, tourable, and narrative-driven, and featuring some of Australia’s best acrobatic talent. The show features world class acrobatics, juggling, aerials and design. *Interstellar meets Star Wars meets Cirque du Soleil.* Premiere season: September 2025.

‘Into Space’ is a hero's journey, following the adventures of an astronaut during an important space mission. Our astronaut ventures into space with a team and faces a multitude of challenges - an asteroid field, becoming separated from his crew, encountering alien life, and the prospect of being stuck with no way to return home to earth. What will our astronaut learn about themselves, and our place in the universe, during this journey of epic proportions?

Unique Selling Point

We are premiering Into Space At HOTA in September 2025, with touring planned after and into 2026.

The work is special as it's narrative circus. It tells a thrilling story of a astronaut venturing into the stars, learning about alien life, as well as about himself. The show is at the highest quality, with some of Australia's best acrobats involved. Just don't miss you chance to book this one!
