Aerial acrobatics are about to take over the Arts Centre Melbourne stage this spring

words by staff writer

Zerial is the cabaret spectacle bringing soaring vocals and sky-high stunts to Arts Centre Melbourne.

Aerial Artists Australia is pulling out all the stops with Zerial, a reimagined cabaret spectacular hitting the Fairfax Studio at Arts Centre Melbourne this September. Created and produced by Craig Hryhorec, the show is also playing a season at the Adelaide Festival Centre.

Born from the team behind Le Aerial, Zerial promises a bigger, bolder production featuring a mix of brand-new acts alongside crowd favourites.

“ZERIAL represents the evolution of everything we love about live performance,” says Hryhorec. “We’ve taken the magic of Le Aerial and elevated it into a truly immersive spectacle that celebrates extraordinary talent, powerful music, and breathtaking movement.”

Zerial brings together an impressive lineup of performers spanning aerial artistry, opera, musical theatre and high-energy dance.

Helpmann Award-nominated musical theatre star Teagan Wouters and acclaimed Australian tenor Mark Oates anchor the show with powerful vocals woven into breathtaking physical performance.

Wouters’ stage credits include Kinky Boots, The Addams Family, Fiddler on the Roof, Dirty Dancing, The Wedding Singer, and Bonnie & Clyde, while Oates brings a career spanning opera, music theatre and concert performance, including La Traviata, Sweeney Todd, and Orpheus in the Underworld.

In the air, celebrated French Cirque du Soleil artist Arnaud Caizergues joins Australian performers Olivia Baker, Lauren Bird and Natalie Chudleigh, transforming the stage into a world where gravity appears optional. Rounding out the cast, Craig Monley and Sriani Argaet bring fierce, fire-fuelled dance energy to the stage.

The production runs for one hour and ten minutes with no interval, and is designed to appeal to theatre lovers and cabaret audiences alike with its fusion of circus arts, live music and dance.
