NOT JUST ANOTHER ENTERTAINMENT AGENCY
WE’RE ENTERTAINMENT CURATORS
It takes 3 seconds to make a first impression - so the Cirkus Bizurkus journey begins from the moment guests arrive.
Our motto is don’t be the same, be better! That’s why you’ll never see roving characters like ours anywhere else.
All of our looks are custom-designed by our creative team, influenced by Creative Director Fernando Barraza, who has 20+ years of experience in fashion and styling.
Think Cirkus Couture, avant-gardesque, with a dash of fun, playful energy.
WE REALLY CARE ABOUT THIS INDUSTRY
Our vision spans far and wide. We believe that the entertainment industry is ready for more. Out with the cookie-cutter, rinse and repeat entertainment and in with the wild and wonderful.
We celebrate diversity, inclusivity and all things fabulous. We’ve built long-lasting, genuine relationships with all of our performers and talent. We care about quality and this is reflected in our next-level entertainment!
We are all about the experience from start to finish - and this includes YOUR experience working with us. *Warning* we go next level on ALLLLL the levels: from the original custom costuming to the hair all the way to the bedazzled shoes and fingertips.
THE BACKGROUND STORY:
Born during the chaos of 2020, Cirkus Bizurkus was an idea 15 years in the making!
Our Founder and Creative Director Fernando started in film and TV in his teens (early ‘90s, shock horror), as an extra in legendary films such as The Matrix and Mission Impossible 2 but it was working on Baz Lurhmann's masterpiece Moulin Rouge that ultimately inspired him to pursue a career in the creative world.
After a successful career as a celebrity stylist and photographer working in New York and London, Fernando returned to Australia and began working on iconic TV shows like Australian Idol, Australia’s Got Talent, X Factor, Australia's Next Top Model and The Face.
It was launching hotels QT and The Darling however gave him an insight and LOVE for circus and live performances.
Fast forward to 2020 and the covid lockdowns, Fernando suddenly had the space to rethink his next move, during which time he came across a deck he had created many years before for CIrkus Bizurkus and it was a light bulb moment.
With the assistance of a City of Sydney grant he decided to launch a stage show by the same name. The collaboration with Home nightclub ‘in bed @ Home’ Cirkus Bizurkus was born in time for Mardi Gras 2021.
With Australia and the world reopening, Cirkus Bizkurus was in a very unique position to be able to entertain the masses and create MAGIC again.
Soon Cirkus Bizurkus was working with some amazing companies including Qantas, Porsche, Uber, Bloomberg, TikTok, and more!
What began as a costume design and entertainment solution business, soon expanded into creative direction, live events, production and now even our own Cirkus Skool.
Cirkus Bizurkus continues to evolve every day with the infinite possibility of creativity and our drive to create magical solutions for our clients.
