Dae-Gyun Kim has staged hundreds of performances of the ancient art of Korean tightrope known as Jultagi.
But for the first time in his career, he will be staging performances of his famous show in Australia.
Jultagi has been performed for more than 1000 years and was once a form of entertainment for Korean royalty.
It involves jokes, music, and songs.
Korean Cultural Centre director, Sinyoung An told SBS News Jultagi was a central part of Korean culture - so significant that in 2011 the United Nations added it to its list of intangible cultural heritage.

"It's the core of traditional festivals in South Korea and in Korea," he said.
"The audiences can experience lots of things regarding authentic traditional Korean culture."
Mr Kim began training at the age of nine and said he spent 10 hours each day perfecting his routine.
"What I enjoy about Jultagi is when you're up on the rope you can look out at the world," he said.
"When you're up on the rope it's your own world, so it's kind of an infinite world."
Mr Kim said he hoped he could share Jultagi the experience with his Australian audiences.
“Jultagi pulls the audience into the performance and they engage audiences," he said.
"It's kind of a two-way performance. I hope Australians enjoy being a part of the show.”
Mr Kim is now training other young South Korean Jultagi performers to keep the ancient art of tightrope performance alive.
