Forget your traditional lion tamer because this is truly a circus for the 21st century, an out of control circus act showcasing human movement in its most scintillating form.

Control Alt Delete is a truly unique performance featuring 16 highly skilled young artists from the Flying Fruit Fly Circus.

Performers aged between 10 and 18 will put on an entertaining display of acrobatics and varied circus skills with emotion and meaning at the heart of every trick.

The one-hour show explores the theme of control and how it affects the lives of young people, with the performers backed by an original score by leading Australian hip hop artist Morganics.

The young performers are under the direction of award winning director and choreographer, Jodie Farrugia.

The Flying Fruit Fly Circus will be performing two shows today at the Manning Entertainment Centre, the first show at 1pm and second at 7.30pm.

The Control Alt Delete show is currently touring nationally with performances also scheduled for Dubbo, Gosford, Tamworth, Orange, Wagga Wagga and Griffith.

Dylan Ingwersen and Georgie McFarlane are two of the young performers who feature in the high octane show.

Georgie, 14, has been with the Flying Fruit Fly Circus for the past three years and has devoted much of this time touring and training to be at her very best for show time.

"We train 35 hours a week and we do schoolwork in our own time," she said.

"We do 15 hours a week additional training for the show, and it's the best feeling when the audience applaud your skill."

The aspiring acrobat said the theme of the performance reflected the youthful energy of the cast.

"It's about young people finding control in their own ways," she said.

Sixteen-year-old Dylan said it was an acrobatic show not to be missed.

"We're the leading youth circus act in Australia and most of our graduates go on to Cirque du Soleil and Circus Oz," he said.

"And the feeling of adrenaline pumping through your veins, it's why we perform and it's what we do best."

While they love the rush of performing, Dylan said days off were a blessing.

"On days off we just relax and the other day we went to the beach at Forster," he said.

Flying Fruit Fly Circus tour manager Madge Fletcher said the show showcased some of the best young performers in the country.

"The Australian circus industry is fed by graduates from the Flying Fruit Fly Circus, which was formed in 1979 as part of the International Year of the Child," she said.

"And the great thing of having this show is that kids can see the opportunity professionally."
