Adelaide Fringe. Cirkidz. The Peacock @ Gluttony. 5 Mar 2023

Wow. Just wow. This is Cirkidz?

They were good in previous productions, for instance last Fringe’s offering Ropeable, but this is next level. Cirkidz is not just speaking up; it’s speaking a whole new language. It’s a harder, sharper language, working on that nebulous area between the body and the brain. The conversation is big, bold and at times brassy. It’s vulnerable, and it’s questioning.

Mettle is a new circus show and apparently “explores the mental toughness and passion that propels you toward achieving your vision for life”.

I’m never sure about these vague descriptions of shows – if you didn’t see them written down you would be clueless half the time, and just enjoy the production for the visual performances. Because there is certainly plenty of that!
