About Animal - Sydney Festival 2025

Loved for their high-flying antics and infectious energy, Cirque Alfonse spins childhood memories and rural cliches into Animal, a surreal circus experience set to an infectious live soundtrack of 'agricultural funk’. They’re flipping farm life on its head – and the barn upside down!

The chickens sprout teeth, the ducks give side-eye and the cows kick up more than just dirt. Expect jaw-dropping acrobatics, daring juggling (everything from eggs to giant cowbells), tap dancing, absurd humour and even a tractor doing wheelies.

Founded in 2005 by Antoine Carabinier-Lépine and his father Alain, Cirque Alfonse is an intergenerational circus which hails from the little town of Saint-Alphonse-Rodriguez, Québec. In just twenty years, this rural raised collective has toured the biggest cities in the world with their truly authentic circus style. 

Having already wowed audiences with Timber! (Sydney Festival 2015) and Barbu, this will be the company’s third visit to Sydney. Come see why we keep asking them back!

★★★★ “Very much a family affair, the Quebecois company has a slightly anarchic approach to circus, and probably life, that sets it ever so slightly apart from the crowd.” – The Scotsman

"Elevates joyously silly, farmyard-themed show with refreshing inventiveness” – The Stage

★★★★★ “"Be prepared to be amazed by the balancing strength and high-flying circus acts” – Play & Go Adelaide

Most of the time you are required to log into or create an account with the ticketing vendor in order to process an order for tickets. The best way to find confirmation or your tickets is to log back in to that same account you purchased the tickets with and you should see your tickets, instructions on how to obtain your tickets or confirmation of your purchase of tickets.

If you cannot see anything on your account, firstly make sure it was the correct email address and account you originally purchased the tickets with, check your bank statement to ensure the tickets actually processed or contact the ticketing vendor directly as they will have access to the system and can look up your information and locate and re-issue your tickets.
