If you’re a mad hatter, a smiley Kitty, or a lost Rabbit, the Brisbane Powerhouse wants you!


Brisbane's Powerhouse will be treating its audience to an explosive carnival of alternative comedy, cabaret, circus and music in December. The outdoor event will transform into a night-time playground as a myriad of performances take place each night across several indoor and outdoor venues.

Artistic Director Kris Stewart says the program will encapsulate the character of Brisbane Powerhouse as a home to weird and wonderful artistic feats. “‘Wonderland’ will be a surprising and crazy mix of the unexpected. It’s about taking a holiday from the mundane and being able to come to Brisbane Powerhouse and experience a feast of colour and music and mayhem.

“There will be a mad bunch of carnies and gypsies and a host of other shows. People can grab a drink at the bar and relax under the stars or come inside and explore the bizarre and wonderful performances occurring throughout the venue.”

With Kransky Sisters, Briefs, and Topology, the mix is sure to be eccentric and wonderful. However they are looking for anyone outside the ordinary to submit an application and join the spectacle.

If you’re a street performer, slam poet, singer, comedian, circus performer or even like to stick swords down your throat (though we advise you not to learn just for this the sake of this event), then you should head on over to the Brisbane Powerhouse website and fill out a submission form.

Submissions are now open and close on August 22. ‘Wonderland’ plays the Powerhouse Plaza December 5-14.
