After Dark Theatre Presents The World Premiere Of AI Inspired Circus Show Nightrunner For Adelaide Fringe 2025

NIGHTRUNNER, a daring new circus spectacular where reality dissolves into a neon-lit realm of fantasy and vice, will have its world premiere in Adelaide this February.

Inspired by Blade Runner and The Matrix, creators invite Adelaide audiences to step into the NIGHTRUNNER system—an intoxicating braindance of surreal acrobatics, cutting-edge laser artistry, and hypnotic movement. Each act plunges deeper into the digital rabbit hole, confronting themes of lust, power, and illusion.

Blurring the lines between flesh and the digital machine, this ground-breaking Cyberpunk inspired production from the talented Melbourne based creators of the award-winning show Barbaroi*, NIGHTRUNNER is set to immerse this year’s Adelaide Fringe go-ers in an augmented reality haven of pure electric desire.
