Dive into the history of one of Australia's most iconic performing arts institutions in this lavishly illustrated story, featuring exclusive interviews and stunning original Circus Oz artwork.

With its roots in both the New Wave theatre movement and in the traditional circus form,
Circus Oz has, since its first shows in 1978, played a foundational role in the development of contemporary circus in Australia and internationally. Despite being one of the most culturally and innovatively significant circus companies of all time, Circus Oz is the subject of far too little analysis and exploration.

From the origins of Circus Oz in the 1970s, through to the company's current success, Circus Oz details political, social, innovative, design, and aesthetic changes across the history of the company, and looks forward to what the future might bring for circus in Australia.
