Criptonite

CRIPTONITE @criptonitetheshow lit up the Funhaus stage with bold, contemporary circus cabaret and all the right feels. We’re super proud to support and present new work created and performed by artists with lived experience of disability. This was made possible with support from @creatensw & of coarse our audiences. Bringing this calibre of work into our regional communities where it would not have otherwise landed is both enriching and empowering. What a gorgeous, uplifting, magical and deeply skilled show. Thank you to everyone who shared in the experience and to the incredible performers for trusting us with your magic. #funhausfactory #gosfordartscentre #contemporarycircus #cabaret #whatsoncentralcoast
