SABOTAGE Do not go along thinking of your childhood touring circus with laughing policemen, clowns with bangs, painted smiles and cars that fall apart as this is not what happens.
Sabotage starts off dark, bewildering, edgy and sombre. No big glitzy entrances or exits but a mind boggling extravaganza and myriad of thought provoking interactions with the performers as the show is being set up for the audience. Each and every performer are the audience stars, thereās no main performer per se with each and every one that shines and rightfully showcases their specific talent/s and all of them having multiple jobs to do, keep an eye on the performers, when they leave the stage they do not go and sit in a green room to relax and await their next scene and entrance their next cue on occasions is another job, when you get to see it will leave you speechless and spellbound with the razor sharp production value and precision timing āSabotageā offers.
The music and singing (live) is vivid, fitting and unique, everything in this piece of Circus theatre fits like hand and glove, itās an immersive show with show stopping circus performers that is masterfully produced and directed. A massive well done to the creative team, technical crew and the performers, you really did give us all a little bit of your magic thatās for sure, Iāve woken up pondering who I am going to go back with. A massive well done you deserve the credit for an outstanding evening....
Ā Ā Ā Read moreA beguiling and magical show, combining a strong theme and wonderful acrobatic & musical performances. This is the second NoFit State production that I have seen, and they have surpassed the high standard set by their previous show. There is a very clear narrative; certainly in the first half, which is quite dark in tone (lent extra poignance by current world events). But this is offset by humour and incredible acrobatics and does not exclude a younger audience; my eight year old enjoyed it immensely.
From the moment the show begins, you get a real sense of conviction from the performers; they command the stage with such confidence and wonderful interaction with the audience. Some of the acrobatic feats simply defy physics & belief.
The synergy with the live music works beautifully; the musicians/singers would be a compelling act in their own right, demonstrating a great breadth of ability. The female vocalist is simply sensational.
This really is a show not to be missed and is a wonderful evening of entertainment for all age groups. Sometimes a two hour show can drag on, but I was left wondering where...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreIm one of those people that don't understand contemporary dance related things. Im Ć” 80's kid that grew up with live animals being in a circus and clowns etc. I WAS BLOWN AWAY TONIGHT! The stage is smaller that regular circus. The strength and talent they have was amazing. There was a live band playing and most of the people there were singers, acrobats, technician's and play various instruments! Even between setting up ladders and ropes they still provided entertainment. Its was funny, crazy, breathtaking, colourfull and entertaining all at once. The acrobats were straight again on stage after there own performances, to assist the next act. Endless energy Well...
