The Dust Palace

Our mission is to present fun, exhilarating circus theatre that is intimate, visually stunning and brave in its frankness about human nature. OUR D.N.A. Established by Eve Gordon and Mike Edward in 2009, The Dust Palace is New Zealand's pre-eminent circus theatre company. Our aim is to create international-standard circus theatre, taking our stories around the world; and to foster circus and physical performance and practitioners in Auckland and New Zealand. No other professional company in NZ operates in this innovative, form-forward space. We value quality, audacity and humanity. We create work which connects communities, sharing skills and spreading delight. CIRQUE THEATRE PROGRESSION The Dust Palace has progressed toward creating more integrated narrative based works as our company and audience profile has grown, which is at the core of what we do. From our early cabaret-style works we have been introducing our audiences to a more sophisticated, genre-bending blend of circus and physical theatre; challenging and engaging diverse audiences as well as providing mind-blowing entertainment!
