DiVino is a Fellini-inspired circus extravaganza performed by third year National Institute of Circus Arts students and guest artists. It is about a group of performers stranded in an Italian piazza on their way to the most important audition of their life. The piazza becomes a place where dreams, memories, nightmares, comedy and pathos, circus and life collide.
FanFair
In keeping with the overall theme of DiVino, the first thing that audience members will experience when they arrive at the venue is the Fellini inspired Fanfare Band. The band will perform in the forecourt and foyer from 7:40pm (1:40pm at matinees) till 8:05pm. In addition, Pantalone, the DiVino Restaurant Head Waiter, will entertain in the foyer and the theatre during the pre-show starting at 7:45pm up until the start of the show at 8:10pm. So, come along and enjoy this entertainment whilst refreshing yourself at the NICA Bar!

Getting there
Car parking in Prahran is a real challenge. If you are driving, give yourself an extra 15 minutes to park. Ultimately you will get one but Prahran lacks a big commercial car park. We strongly reccomend a combo "Park+ride" or leaving the car at home.
