Coming Home - NICA's 25th anniversary celebration

Coming Home

Inspired by the NICA archives, the show turns the pages of our history, with generations of students, graduates and teachers sharing the stage, expect to see soaring aerials, wheels, hoops, bikes, foot juggling and plenty of circus skill.

What makes a place feel like home?

For NICA, it's the people. The teachers who have passed on their knowledge. The students who have taken risks, found their feet and flown. The graduates who have carried NICA's spirit out into the world. The audiences, families, friends and circus community who have filled these spaces with energy for 25 years.

This November, come and celebrate with us

As we celebrate where NICA has come from, we're also looking towards the next 25 years. Students from Shanghai Circus School join us for the final iteration of the Beyond Our Boundaries project, reflecting NICA's growing international connections and ambitions for the future.

You're invited to help us celebrate our birthday and make yourself at home at NICA from 19-21 November 2026.

All proceeds from ticket sales and additional donations go towards NICA's Excellence Scholarship Fund.

Shows:
Friday 20 November 6.00pm (opening night)
