Cirquosis – Roundabout Circus X Laycock Street Community Theatre

What happens when we finally look up from our screens?

Roundabout Circus and Laycock Street Theatre invite audiences to unplug, reconnect and rediscover the joy of being human with Cirquosis, an electrifying contemporary circus production created by the professional Circus Artists of Roundabout Circus.

Celebrating a major milestone for the region’s live performance infrastructure, Cirquosis will also be the first production to showcase the theatre’s upgraded aerial rigging system, installed in consultation with Roundabout Circus.

The upgrades significantly expand Laycock Street Theatre’s aerial and circus capabilities, enabling it to safely host a wider range of professional touring productions and large-scale aerial work.

Roundabout Circus was engaged as a local consultant in the rigging design process, and is now the first local organisation to bring the system to life on stage, marking a significant step forward for Central Coast performing arts opportunities.

Through breathtaking aerials, acrobatics, juggling, physical theatre, dance and circus storytelling, Cirquosis follows a journey from digital overload back into movement, imagination, community and real-world entertainment.

Created and performed by the Roundabout Circus crew, the production showcases the extraordinary talent, dedication and creativity of the Central Coast’s Community Circus, while delivering a high-energy theatrical experience for audiences of all ages.

Roundabout Circus founder Rachel Peters said the show reflects a challenge many families recognise.
“We live in a world where people spend so much time looking down at devices, notifications, and the word ‘social’ has a new meaning.This show asks what happens when we look up again,” she said.
“Cirquosis is joyful, powerful, funny and deeply human. It celebrates play, connection and the incredible things that happen when people are given space to be creative, courageous and completely themselves.”
