Vertical Insanity Circus

Vertical Insanity Circus Vertical Insanity Circus is a contemporary circus performance company that was founded in 2015 by a group of local Adelaide circus artists.

Vertical Insanity Circus currently trains, rehearses, creates and performs their work on the land of the Kaurna people. We acknowledge that the Kaurna people hold knowledge of dance, performance and storytelling that have been practiced for thousands of years. We also acknowledge sovereignty has never been ceded. Originally apart of the CircoBats Performance Troupe, these young performers have sin

ce branched off to create, explore and play with their own artistic style. After making a successful debut in the Adelaide Fringe for 2015, this team of enthusiastic performers have developed several contemporary circus performances including Trapped (2015-2016), Try Again (2016 - 2017), Mortal Sins (2016), High Tea with Burlesque (2017), Hand in Hand (2018 – 2019, SA Emerging Artist Winner) and their latest work: Line of Sight (2021). Whilst VI Circus is a South Australian based company, its members have trained, performed and travelled together for a number of years in state-wide, national and international performances. All members of VI Circus share a strong passion for the circus arts and are skilfully embed other artistic styles, including dance, visual arts and drama, into their circus performances. Young in heart, mind and body, VI Circus celebrates the raw talent and ingenuity the local Adelaide circus community has to offer and is extremely excited to continue its journey in the circus arts. VI Circus would like to thank CircoBats Community Circus for its ongoing support in their creative endeavours.
