Primal

Portlanders are STILL talking about the sell-out spectacular Rouge that launched our 2022 season. Now, the Highwire Entertainment troupe bring us its spiritual successor – Primal!

A sexy, funny, thrilling circus for grown-ups, featuring Australia’s most exciting circus and cabaret artists. Spectacular acrobatics, breathtaking song, scintillating dance, this non-stop wild ride of a show is inspired by the Animal Kingdom!

“A kids’ circus this is not – it is an exhilarating, sexy, funny and highly entertaining adults-only show.” - The Advertiser

“Exploding with energy and performers full of joy, this was a luxurious wanton bath in naughtiness. Totally shameless and indulgent, I defy anyone not to gasp in shock and awe in equal measure.” - Diva Magazine
