Preparations are well under way for Sydney Festival 2015, and now the first show on the program has been announced: James Thierrée’s Tabac Rouge.

It marks Thierrée’s fourth visit to Sydney Festival after sell-out productions in 2003, 2006 and 2008. Tabac Rouge sees Thierrée – one of the world’s foremost contemporary circus performers – appear alongside a cast of dancers and artists, all in an effort to transport their audience to a dark and chaotic yet beautiful environment.

Tabac Rouge plays at the Sydney Theatre from Wednesday January 7 – Friday January 23, as part of Sydney Festival 2015.
