We Live Here

We Live Here

Presented by Flipside Circus in collaboration with Southern Edge Arts. Developed with Hummingbird House and commissioned by Metro Arts.

An unforgettable circus show that combines storytelling and extraordinary circus skills to create an inspiring, funny, and poignant performance for the entire family.

Based on the stories of parents, siblings, and guests of Hummingbird House, Queensland’s only youth hospice, We Live Here explores themes of resilience, chaos, and the beauty of a moment shared.

We Live Here was commissioned by and premiered at Metro Arts in 2018, before going on to sell-out shows at Queensland Performing Arts Centre/Brisbane Festival (2019), as well as Empire Theatres Toowoomba (2019), the State Theatre Centre WA/Awesome Festival (2022), and a return season at Metro Arts (2022).
