A Tribute to Street Arts Theatre and Rock n Roll Circus
We stand on the shoulders of circus greats
With its roots embedded in the thriving bohemian and nomadic local arts scene, the origins of Brisbane’s (Queensland, Australia) contemporary circus sector dates as far back as the early 1980’s. The company that led the Brisbane sector to where it is today, Rock n Roll Circus, evolved from a series of street theatre and community theatre projects led by local collectives, The Popular Theatre Troupe and Street Arts Theatre.
Across the 10 days of CIRCFest, an exhibition will be on display at Seven Hills Hub. A tribute to Street Arts Brisbane & Rock N Roll Circus – trailblazers from the 1980s and 1990’s who led the way & is one of the reasons Brisbane is such a strong circus city.
This special exhibition is being curated by CIRCFest22 Meanjin and whilst we expect will be appealing to our circus community is open to all to attend and learn more about this fantastic part of Birsbane’s cultural history.

Three generations recast their narrative. Intergenerational circus with lots to say: the personal is political, fury is fun and the acrobatics downright dangerous –especially when life gets in the way.
