It was the electrifying era of big hair, animal print and rock anthems.
At this year's Adelaide Fringe, Brisbane-based circus artist and producer Hannah Indigo presents the premiere of circus and variety show 'Dressed To Kill', a production paying tribute to the legendary rock band, KISS.
Hannah is a die-hard rock and roll enthusiast, who loves to create immersive and captivating variety shows which set out to transport audiences through time and space.
