A violin-led tumble into Wonderland
A violin-playing White Rabbit makes a quietly clever guide in Cirque Alice: in its Canberra performance, his music stitched the circus acts together, giving the tumble through Wonderland a thread to follow. Around that pulse, the Tweedles brought elastic, mischievous acrobatics—playful characters as much as feats of balance. It’s a way of letting the beloved story’s oddness live in the performers’ bodies, not just in the scenery.
Now the production brings its rabbit-hole invitation to Sydney Lyric Theatre. Expect a world built around spectacle and a classic turned into a live circus adventure; the Canberra review suggests there’s also care in the staging, with warmth alongside the technical skill. A promising pick if you like your storybook strangeness with a human heartbeat.
