What’s in store for the Gatsby – A Cirque Extravaganza

This immersive theatrical experience brings glamour, excess, and tragic romance to life with a breathtaking fusion of circus and dance.

A cast of acrobats soar above in a magnificent display of aerial skills, while contortionists and dancers weave through the stage, embodying the spirit of Gatsby’s legendary parties. Each act unfolds to immerse you in the grandeur of the 20’s Jazz Age, inspired by iconic scenes from the hit Baz Luhrmann film, The Great Gatsby (2013).

The talented cast of eight dancer-aerialists will captivate and mesmerise audiences from start to finish, leaving guests wanting more.
