A Bee Story

It’s a sticky situation, and things never quite go to plan…

The award-winning, uniquely Australian, A Bee Story by ARC Circus is the perfect family entertainment. This charming circus show is a spectacular blend of world-class acrobatics, juggling, dance and clowning.

Join Queen Bee and Worker Bee on their magical adventures, where things never quite go to plan. Be enchanted by their super strength, pollen collecting skills and incredible circus feats. 

Through the power of physical theatre, we learn that together we can overcome great adversity. A Bee Story features themes of teamwork, learning to adapt and sustainability.

The acrobatics, juggling and unicycle tricks kept us on the edge of our seats cheering and clapping.

The acrobatics, tumbling, unicycling and juggling ... have to be seen to be believed.
