NZSL video about the show

Did you see JUNK last Festival? In March 2019 we are excited to bring a very impressive new circus show to New Zealand called Backbone.

Backbone is about human strength, about brains, muscle, teamwork and heart. The acrobats in the show are incredible performers! You have to see it to believe their super human strength. Come and be amazed at their amazing acrobatic stunts, achieved with just the bare strength of the human body, their trust in each other and combined strength.

Backbone does not need NZSL interpreters as it does not have much dialogue. It is a very visual show and has won awards for its beautiful lighting and movement. It’s inspiring to watch and will be enjoyed by ages 8 and above, bring the family!

Some seats in the theatre have a hearing-aid loop. Please let us know if you would like a seat with a hearing aid loop.
