dream cabaret
Step into a world where memory shimmers, dreams take flight, and time refuses to stand still. Dream Cabaret is a spellbinding fusion of theatre and cabaret, created in collaboration with The Robin Centre dementia friendly day centre and the daring visionaries at House of MASH. Here, yesterday becomes today’s memory, tomorrow becomes today’s dream, and nothing begins unless first we dream.
Hosted by Elisabeth Dermot Walsh (On Friday & Saturday) and Barbara Nice (on Sunday). With the finest circus talent from across the UK and Europe, each act defies gravity and expectation, drawing us deeper into a dreamlike world.
But Dream Cabaret is more than just a night out. It’s Birmingham’s most exciting evening of theatre, circus, and cabaret, with after show parties on select dates (Friday & Saturday Night) and every ticket sold helps build a future.
How we make the show
We create side by side with communities. Stories are drawn from real voices at The Robin Centre, then reimagined with world class circus and cabaret artistry.
Where the money goes
All profits are invested into our non-for-profit Mash Academy, which builds bridges for young people and adult community members transitioning into circus careers. Your night of magic fuels the next generation of performers.

roborama
Where circuits clash, sparks fly, and friendship reboots everything.
Deep inside the glowing neon grid of the digital world, the legendary RoboRama circus lights up once a cycle. It’s a dazzling, high-energy spectacle where robot performers juggle plasma rings, somersault through code, and dance on beams of light. But this year, the show’s in trouble.
When a misfit maintenance bot named Glix accidentally causes a system wide glitch, chaos erupts, lights short out, gears jam, and the show is almost scrapped.
With the circus on the brink of deletion, Glix teams up with a grumpy retired trapeze-bot, a mischievous AI juggler, and a star performer who’s lost her sparkle. Together, they must outwit a rogue firewall, survive a wild data storm, and restore the heart of the circus before it crashes forever.
