We Live Here is an inspiring circus show that celebrates the memories and moments that make a life.
Winner of two Matilda Awards for Best Director and Best Circus/Physical Theatre.
“Sensitive, funny, yet heart-hitting.”
We Live Here is 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 celebrates the moments and memories that make a life and explores themes of resilience, chaos, and the beauty of a moment shared.
“… a theatrical event, compelling… and exceptional.”
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).
“A unique collaboration of physical theatre, circus and recorded verbatim stories, this intricately nuanced production utilised excellent skills, transformative design, stunning direction and detailed touching performances to deliver an impossible-to-forget story about life in the face of death.”
We Live Here features a cast of senior professional artists and some of Australia’s brightest emerging/early career circus performers.
