About the work

Peek into a child’s imagination and see what’s possible in this thrilling circus adventure for the whole family.

A new show by Flipside Circus, developed with regional and remote Queensland communities.

The Cubby is a non-stop action-filled circus about cubbies, children’s hidden worlds, big dreams, and tyre swings.

The Cubby brings stories from regional communities to life with fantastic circus skills and verbatim recordings of regional children and young people. The show explores themes of risk, play, place, and identity.

The Cubby has curriculum links for Primary and Secondary Schools as well as capacity to add workshops and residencies. Designed for touring, The Cubby is perfect for performing arts centres, town halls, community centres, or outdoors. With freestanding rigging built into the set it seamlessly fits into various venues.
