VOU Fijian Flying Circus is taking a world-first fusion of circus and Fijian storytelling to Darwin, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney with dates scheduled for August 2026 and January 2027.
The tour lands off the back of a milestone year for the Fiji-based tribe: two consecutive invitations to perform at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and, in early 2026, the distinction of becoming the first Fijian company to headline a major New Zealand arts festival.
Presented by Fiji Airways and supported by Neptune Pacific, the tour brings the company’s raw acrobatics, foot-stomping energy, and signature Fijian humour to audiences in Darwin, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney.
Company director Sachiko Soro says their dream is to build a world where young Fijians have access to quality creative education, allowing them to use their gifts to carve out real, sustainable careers.
“We train our youth to an elite international standard so they can step onto the world stage with confidence,” she said.
“We believe that Fijians have a special kind of contagious happiness, that, combined with beautiful cultural storytelling through circus, dance, acrobats, and humour, together we can create magic and human connection even for a moment.
“Right now, the world just needs more happiness, more joy, and more bridges.
“For us, those bridges are the canvas of a circus tent, a place where people can come together, escape for a moment, and share a laugh.”
