In 2021, Tony Rooke pulled together four of the world’s most in-demand acrobats who, by chance, were in Tasmania, escaping COVID . Before coming together, collectively they have performed with companies including Circa, Gravity and Other Myths, Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Éloize, Circus Oz and The 7 Fingers.
Five years and seven full-length works later, ROOKE are a Tasmanian institution. Their works are engaging, fun, often virtuosic and never half-baked and have played to audiences in places in Tasmania that only locals know.
ROOKE’s focus is on storytelling, skill, and sustainability; underdogs who always deliver.
