Lyttelton Circus Theatre Company makes physical circus theatre in the port town of Lyttelton, mixing aerial and acrobatic work with live music, roving performance and cabaret. Its ensemble includes singers, musicians, actors, aerialists and acrobats, and members also handle admin, set and costume making, and finances. The company was founded in 2007 with a mission to make theatre accessible to all. Its show Berlin Burlesque, about an illusionist and clairvoyant in 1930s Berlin, played a 17-night season at Gasworks Theatre in St Kilda, Melbourne, in April 2025. Its earlier production The Butler toured New Zealand festivals and the UK. Reviewers describe the work as astonishing, creative and funny, with a sexy, naughty streak. We hear the company is moving into the new Lyttelton Arts Factory after losing its original home, The Loons, so check the calendar on its website for current dates and tickets.
