CircusWA’s Eclipse is a contemporary circus production that examines the complexities of existence in the Anthropocene. A dystopian fairy tale, it leverages the innate power of a multifacted artform to explore sociopathy and hope. 

In 2025, SOQS was required to return to Nigeria while awaiting confirmation of his Australian Permanent Residency. CircusWA delayed presenting the finished work, hoping his application would be processed in time for SOQS to perform in Eclipse.
