Criptonite: Intergalactic Redux

The Glimmerverse is here. But soon, it will disappear.

After the May 16 preview performance at FunHaus Factory, the bar staff told us it was the best show they’d ever seen in the venue. And when the bar staff are talking about the show afterwards, you know you’re onto something.

Criptonite takes place inside the Glimmerverse, a sparkling galaxy built from the things we adored as children that never really left us. Under the light of the crescent moon, the stage transforms into a glitter drenched space station where unicorns, mermaids and cosmic creatures collide in one continuous, high skill performance.

Pole, aerial, live vocals and comedy come together in a fully immersive circus theatre experience that is bold, cheeky, chaotic, sensual and completely unforgettable.

Created by international pole artist Deb Roach, Criptonite: Intergalactic Redux weaves story, music and movement into one seamless journey where every act connects and the world unfolds around you in real time.

Things that once existed only in imagination have come to life on stage.

The Glimmerverse entered our galaxy in May 2025.

On May 30, 2026, it disappears.

This is your only chance to step inside it.

Criptonite is a lived experience of disability show. The entire cast has lived experience of disability.

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.
