Civic Theatre is set to undergo a serious transformation to house Cirque de Soleil's latest performance extravaganza Le Noir, The Dark Side of Cirque, as the show takes audiences closer than ever before with 360 degree seating.

Cirque de Soleil is contemporary circus at it's most thrilling, with award winning athletes that captivate audiences with death defying acts including the 'Columbian Wheel of Death', a performance which holds the mantel of most dangerous circus act of all time, through to intriguingly titled segments such as 'Chilli and Fly' - the kind of aerial act for which Cirque de Soleil has become renowned.

Le Noir is billed as old world circus meets the burlesque of Broadway – the latter no doubt an integral part of the 'dark side' of theatre with seductive performances, costuming and daringly fast-paced acts, while the 360 degree seating is a throwback to the classic circus troupes and their marquee tents. The best seats in the house sit almost flush to the stage, inviting audiences to be part of the action instead of simply witnessing a spectacle on stage. For those who aren't game to be so close, there is also seating in the lower stalls of The Civic.

With world-class production, specialty acts and comedians taking centre view, expect to be taken on a spell-binding journey through the world of cirque.

Le Noir: The Dark Side of Cirque takes place at The Civic from October 28 until November 8, 2015.
