STRANGE CHAOS
‘Raw, experimental, and provocative … we witness a self-destructive circus punk wrestling with his demons as he confronts the terrifying prospects of responsibility, maturity, and love … it’s an unforgettable ride.’
- AUSTRALIAN ARTS REVIEW
Strange Chaos is a spectacular display of punk-rock clowning!
Winner of best weekly circus at Adelaide Fringe 2025
‘pick of the fringe’ on Abc Radio National
In the headlights of a broken down car, a Clown and a Ghost appear. Smoke curls, flame licks and confetti falls as moments of beauty flower within an immersive promenade performance.
Using found space to stage the show takes the punk tradition of putting on DIY gigs, and mixes it with the carny magic of Oozing Future’s alt-circus.
Alongside the narrative clowning which threads the work together, Strange Chaos showcases Jones’ impressive feats of physical skill, and others of extreme endurance – from balancing an egg on a chopstick on his nose, to lifting a bowling ball with his private parts, this show really has it all!
In a final touch of charm, Strange Chaos closes with the audience waltzing arm in arm with the performers on stage, embracing the wonder as they dance off into the night.
‘The rawness and edge of Strange Chaos … holds a powerful narrative about loneliness, identity and life as an outsider.’ - Richard Jordan, The Stage UK
Strange Chaos is available for touring in 2025/2026. It will next play at Glastonbury Festival (UK) in June 2025.
