Fans of last year's "sleeper hit" Somnia won't be disappointed with this highly-anticipated sequel. Starting their breakout show in Gluttony, Somnia 2.022 now migrates to The Vault in the Garden. Now equipped with a far more intimate stage, audience members are mere inches away from the action (and oh boy, what action).
Aerial acrobatics from Steph Ianella and Jayde Ormsby will easily wow audiences, while the vaudevillian acts of Aleksandra the Great, Cashmere Hawksworth and Rebecca Eva will certainly enchant. Fan-favourite Miss Moisty returns, delightfully depraved burlesque acts in one hand, angle grinder and fet wear in another (and something else held where I probably shouldn't disclose).
Creative director Bec has clearly poured her heart into this latest addition, which benefits from stronger audio clarity, enchanting light design, and delightfully wicked performers. Not one for the faint of heart or easily scandalised: the crew of Somnia like to push that R18+ rating hard.
Craving something dark, decadent, and delicious? Don't miss Somnia 2.0
