LJ Marles
At the age of 16, East End-born Lj Marles discovered his passion for circus through a local youth project with Bassline Circus, where he learnt the fundamentals of aerial arts. This led him to the National Centre for Circus Arts specialising in aerial straps and graduating from their degree program. Lj draws inspiration from other circus acts aerial rope and silks to create an original apparatus of his own invention: Tension Straps. Lj has since toured the world, performing in Cirque du Soleil special events before making his La Clique debut in 2021, and now is Australia’s first opportunity to experience this gender-bending artist and his unique Tension Straps weaving their magic.

Tara Boom
Tara is Australia’s problem child of cabaret and La Clique’s Queen of Chaos! Having taken the world by storm with her original antics she is now back in her homeland to show audiences what she’s got: from umbrella foot juggling to finessing the absurd art of popcorn making. Reviews have ranged from “an act of exquisite beauty” and “the ultimate show stopper” to “curse this satanic vile trash!” You never know what you get with Boom. But what you do know is that you will never forget it.
