Circus Solarus

From Australia

One of Sydney's foremost street art companies, Circus Solarus tours the world with a cavalcade of bizarre characters derived from Australian culture.

Drovers on Emus
Experience a bit of the Aussie outback when the Emus and Drovers come to town to show our Commonwealth guests some real Australian hospitality. He-mu, She-mu and Baby-mu are almost domesticated and their riders have just about got them under control. Herding crowds into a venue near you!

The Dairy Delights
These kissing cows with their prize stud bull show that Australians are winners in every event! Clarissa the Kisser and her friend Rosebud are going for gold in the cow-kissing competition, while Studley J. Nevertire, on his champion bull Double Dare, is heading straight for a rodeo-riding medal – if he doesn’t get thrown off first!
