After a jaw-dropping performance at last year's Edge of the Bay event, husband-and-wife circus duo Tarrabelle Murphy and Rusty Hammond will return to Esperance for the Purple People Show on May 9.
The show promises to deliver juggling, breathtaking acrobatics, audience interaction and tricks performed by no one else in the world.

The pair are set to perform at the Esperance Civic Centre on Thursday, May 9, from 6pm to 7.30pm.
The dynamic duo have been able to take the show to all corners of the state this year thanks to the support of Country Arts WA's Lotterywest 'Shows on the Go' program.
The program provides support for organisations or regional events in a bid to bring high-quality performing arts to local audiences.
Lotterywest and Healthway have worked alongside Country Arts WA for more than two decades to support the program and promote the Act-Belong-Commit message.
Country Arts WA's Investment director Philippa Maughan said the organisation were proud of the program and being able to bring quality entertainment to regional WA.
"There is constant high demand throughout regional WA, with community organisations, local governments, community resource centres and venues wanting to bring high quality performing arts to their town more than ever," she said.
"As part of the program we support local presenters to build and engage their audiences and maximise the value of each visiting performance through workshops and community engagement initiatives."
Lotterywest chief executive officer Susan Hunt said the arts were a great way to bring the community together.
"Participating in the arts is a great way to bring people together, create a sense of belonging and enrich community understanding about positive mental health," she said.
"The Purple People Show offers a great opportunity for regional Western Australians of all ages to come together, explore their creativity and find out what it means to Act-Belong-Commit."
