In a time where screens dominate daily life, Taiwanese company Eye Catching Circus brings a powerful and thought-provoking performance to Adelaide Fringe 2025.
Their latest work, KEEP IN TOUCH!, is a striking exploration of balance—not just in physical form, but in the way technology has reshaped human connection.
At the centre of KEEP IN TOUCH! is a towering two-metre-high, three-metre-wide half-circle that serves as both stage and symbol.
As the performers balance, counter-balance, and shift their weight across the structure, they mirror the struggle we all face in navigating the real and digital worlds.
This is circus with a purpose. It asks pressing questions about how we stay connected in a world dominated by screens.
Each carefully choreographed moment in KEEP IN TOUCH! echoes the delicate dance between technology and humanity.
The performers’ ability to maintain control while standing on the edge of imbalance serves as a striking metaphor for the way we live today—always adapting, always negotiating, always trying to stay upright in a rapidly shifting landscape.
Beyond its powerful commentary on the digital age, KEEP IN TOUCH! is also an ambitious reinvention of circus itself.
Eye Catching Circus has made it their mission to preserve the rich traditions of Taiwanese circus while pushing the art form forward. The company’s signature style blends technical mastery with innovation, creating a performance that feels both rooted in history and unmistakably modern.
Following their success at last year’s festival, where they won a Weekly Award for Circus, Eye Catching Circus returns for a strictly limited run of just five performances. This is contemporary circus at its most poetic, combining breathtaking acrobatics with a deep, resonant message about modern life.
Eye Catching Circus has built an international reputation for blending acrobatic excellence with conceptual storytelling. Through collaborations with artists across different disciplines, they craft performances that challenge, inspire, and redefine what circus can be.
With only five performances, KEEP IN TOUCH! is a rare opportunity to witness contemporary circus at its most daring and thought-provoking.
Adelaide Fringe 2025 is set to be filled with incredible performances, but few will leave as lasting an impression as this. Keep an eye on the schedule, because once these tickets are gone, they’re gone.
Location: The Lab, Fool’s Paradise
