Fijian Flying Circus tours Australia amid Brisbane Riverfire preparations

Fijian Flying Circus Brisbane Festival Riverfire VOU dance company performing arts education

The Fijian Flying Circus, created by the Pacific dance company VOU, is currently touring Australia. Following a sold-out run in Darwin, the troupe is performing at the South Bank Piazza as part of the Brisbane Festival. The circus features acrobatics, aerials, drumming, and dance, with proceeds supporting the Conservatorium of Dance in Nadi, Fiji. This institution provides 20 Fijians annually with fully-funded two-year performing arts diplomas.

In Brisbane, preparations are underway for the Riverfire event. Crowds have gathered along the Brisbane River for the festivities, which include six barges of fireworks and a military flyover. Due to strike action, ferry services in the city are suspended until 4am Sunday. To accommodate the crowds, authorities are deploying buses to provide an additional 36,500 trips within 90 minutes of the event's conclusion.
