circa

A wild, dark celebration of bodies and beings.

Circa, Australia’s most internationally toured contemporary circus company, returns to Brisbane Powerhouse in a world-premiere venue takeover, to close out Melt Festival 2026 well after dark. Follow Circa and guest artists through the winding back corridors of Brisbane Powerhouse and witness raw physicality build before you as acrobats test the balance of instinct and control.

Let the bass take over, with music produced and performed by DJ Sveta, as it explodes into a rave: deviant and joyful, crammed with the physical virtuosity Circa is famous for. Echoing the energy of underground clubs and dancefloors built from community rather than permission, Show Me Love captures the visceral feeling of finding yourself reflected in others.

Created by Yaron Lifschitz and the Circa Ensemble, featuring guest artists.
Music produced by DJ Sveta.

This project is supported by Tim Fairfax AC and Gina Fairfax AC.

This experience begins with a journey through the venue before entering the theatre. Accessible options are available at all stages of the experience.
