    GODZ

    Time to get Greeced up! Again!

    Back from sell-out international and national tours, the Winner of the 2022 Melbourne Fringe People’s Choice Award now returns to the Festival Park!

    Appearing one last time as a part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival, don’t miss the chance to join Cupid (the God of Love), Hercules (the God of Strength) and Dionysus (the God of Wine) as they paint Ancient Greece red and bring you to the biggest party to hit Mount Olympus since 500 BCE.

    This adults-only, jaw-dropping offering from the Head First Acrobats boys sees their unique mix of storytelling, circus, and physical prowess swell to godlike proportions. Expect a bodyssey of gravity-defying stunts, true tests of heroic strength and muscularity, and surprise comic twists.

    Renowned for being incredibly cheeky and highly provocative, Head First Acrobats leave nothing behind in this knock-out five-star season. Based in Melbourne, they are regulars on the international touring circuit and are a multi-award-winning entertainment company with an undisputed talent for developing shows that fast become the talk of the town.

    Running from the 3rd to the 29th of October at The Vault in the Festival Park, GODZ is a must-see during the 2023 Melbourne Fringe Festival. Last chance to catch them – you’re gonna myth them when they’re gone!
