THEATRE – Le Noir – Festival Theatre – Til May 2 – 4K

It is doubtful circus has ever been this daring and sensual with Le Noir rather more thrilling than its title may suggest. 4K

FRINGE 2015 – Illuminate – Gluttony – 2.5K

I was somewhat underwhelmed. 2.5K

FRINGE 2015 – Papillon – Gluttony – 3.5K

It is all rather good fun and while you can probably see better (‘death defying’) gymnastics elsewhere the humour and lower ticket prices make Papillon more than a safe choice. 3.5K

FRINGE 2015: A Simple Space – Royal Croquet Club – The Menagerie – 5K

Described as “Cirque Du Soleil with a fistful of grit” it is raw inconceivable strength of determination that entertains, leaving the audience as breathless as these superhuman acrobats must surely be with their physical performance. 5K

FRINGE – Illuminate – Croquet Club – 4K

This Melbourne based crew’s tweak of the circus staples is to play with light, how the strong man, the juggling, the high wire and gymnastics get lit. And they do it very well. 4K

FRINGE – Circus – Trash Test Dummies – 4K and Luminous – 4K

The Dummies are three likely lads who smash the crap out of wheelie bins in a rollicking sixty minutes of mayhem, ideal for both children as well as adults. 4K Luminous is sure to be one of the highlights of the 2014 Fringe circus acts and as it’s in a small venue, be sure to book ahead to avoid disappointment. 4K
