'Hana Fiesta’s Disco Fiasco' is half circus show, half interactive dance party for kids and families.

Hana Fiesta invites you to join the disco... but the lights and sound are broken! With a unique blend of high energy DIY that includes circus skills, slapstick and utter silliness, Hana Fiesta needs to unravel this fiasco and fix the disco equipment in time to throw a mega fun dance party.

Watch her tackle the challenge - then join the interactive dance party to celebrate. With Hana Fiesta DJ-ing contemporary to nostalgic tunes, the disco is perfect for the whole family to put on your dancing shoes and show off your moves.

Nominated Best Emerging Artist, Melbourne Fringe Festival 2023.
