IN a first-time co-production with Mandurah Performing Arts Centre, a world class team of circus theatre artists join local emerging artists to create an epic circus show that opens the WA Regional Arts Summit 2017 on October 12.
Fearless by Maxima combines circus, theatre, shadow puppetry and clowning.
Sailing across the seas with a family of foxes sharing their darkest secrets and scariest moment, we watch their struggle to stay afloat, witness heart racing moments of panic and fear and will be relieved as they step safely onto shore ready to face a new future together.
