The Candy Butchers - A Circus Sweetmeat

The Candy Butchers a circus sweetmeat

Australian contemporary circus luminaries Derek Ives & Azaria Universe join forces with Jess Love & DJ Garner to create -
The Candy Butchers; proud purveyors of elegant stunts, dirty acrobatics and dark clowning.

A darkly humorous voyage into a neo-vaudevillian world of an imaginary sideshow era, see high level circus combined with pathos, drama and tragedy to create a vision that is at once delicately touching, visually enchanting and physically impressive.

The Candy Butchers was born from a desire to delve deep into the world of old time circus and physical story telling to create a high risk human spectacle. It is the culmination of more than a decade of international work in various circus and sideshow troupes combined with hundreds of hours of training in circus schools from Melbourne to Beijing and Moscow.
Winner of The Most Outstanding Production Award at the Melbourne Fringe Festival 2004, and Best Show / Independent Theatre The Green Room Award Association 2004 and following a Sell Out season at The Studio - Sydney Opera House, The Candy Butchers a circus sweetmeat has been heralded as one of the most important works to emerge from the new Australian circus movement in recent memory.

The performance seamlessly blends the perverse with the poetic to create a circus with a heart a twisted black one!
