It's 10'oclock on a #fringeworld2018 night in #perth and you find yourself with some time before your next thing.

Perhaps you've enjoyed the Showman's Dinner and Show and have been relaxing a bit, looking at the buskers in the Cultural Centre, maybe taken a ride on the tiny Ferris Wheel. Perhaps you've seen our very own Tim McDougall's Cabinet of Curiosities nearby at Cafe IK in the Showman's Fair.

But now you wander into the Showman's Fair, and grab yourself some tokens (4 for this show - $20) and stroll up to the rear of the Fair. A strange but compelling structure of wood awaits you - The Opticum - climb the stairs to the inside where you find yourself in a miniature Octagon style theatre.

This is the performance space of the exciting Thunderdog Circus!

This is an energetic performance and an extraordinary melding of music and acrobatic work. Zen knife throwing is very exciting. Some wow with the foot dexterity too!

Mainly springboard and ropework but perhaps the springboard is the most rivetting, jump on the springboard - wheee and onto the musician's gallery and play the drums all without missing a beat!

The springboard guys get hot during the performance, but they don't stop the performance just to remove their attire, they just keep on bouncing, and they're in the air long enough to make it look relaxed!

A vital and remarkable performance in a very cool venue with live band supplemented by the acrobats dropping in to play their bit.

Highly recommended 10 out of 10 and the first time you watched the Boans amazingly convoluted donut machine crank out donuts on the Sid and Nancy scale.
