A Bee Story

Kids and their families will get a buzzy buzz out of this delightful, gravity-defying circus show celebrating the amazing talents, resourcefulness and resilience of bees.

$20 - $35 (Service Fee may apply)
60 minutes
Sat 25 March

It’s a sticky situation, all right. After a bushfire wreaks havoc, a Queen Bee and Worker Bee must work together to rebuild their hive, despite things never quite going to plan… 

Brilliantly performed by Robbie Curtis (Cirque du Soleil) and talented musician, clown and acrobat Liz McRae, A Bee Story is a veritable juggling act of circus, acrobatic, dance and live music entertainment. This instantly enchanting show is an ode to the pollen-collecting, honey-making, super-bee powers of the world’s most versatile insect – and an enlightening modern-day message on environmentalism, sustainability and community spirit.

“A charming piece that is that rare thing – genuinely entertaining for all the family.” — Fringe Review UK
