Auntie's Fiafia Night
Gravity-defying fun with Casus Circus and friends.
World Premiere
Afio mai! Step inside, take off your shoes, give Auntie a hug, then take a seat for fiafia night!
Experience a celebratory night of circus fun, Pacific song and dance with world-renowned Casus Circus.
Directed by Samoan man and circus performer extraordinaire, Natano Fa’anana, Auntie’s Fiafia Night combines gravity-defying acrobatic feats with traditional slap and fire dances, chants and ancient urban legend stories for the ultimate evening with Auntie.
Music Director Airileke Ingram drums together a high energy and oceanic score inspired by Pasifika roots, weaving in Samoan log drums, Maori Kapa Haka, and Cook Island and Tahitian dance with featured cultural artists from across the ocean.
Get ready to ‘pati pati po’ the night away.

#Artist
Casus Circus
Casus Circus works are rich in human connection, integrity, cultural diversity and precise, intelligent choreography. Acrobats fill the stage with momentum and stillness, with strength and fragility, overwhelming audiences with breathless emotion.
