Limbo – The Return is nothing short of a gripping circus spectacle. Presented by Stru & Fret, one of Australia’s leading creative forces who brought us The Party, The Purple Rabbit and smash hits, Blanc de Blanc and Blanc de Blanc Encore (among many others) have spared no expense in reenergising one of their most loved shows. Set to an industrial soundscape, the heart of Limbo is an intoxicating mix of cabaret, circus, acrobatics, and exhilarating live music that pulses with energy. This vaudeville themed experience is led by the maestro of NY’s underground scene, Sxip Shirey, alongside the talents of Grant Arthur and Mick Stuart. The cast is a constellation of world-renowned circus performers and prolific musicians, each bringing their unique flair to the performance. From Bulgaria’s stunning aerialist Maria Moncheva to French gravity-defying Chinese pole master Mikael Bres. Australian acrobat and tap dance sensation Hilton Denis stole the show with his cheeky demeanour but the true star of the show was the seductive fire-eating singer Clara Fable, with her angelic voice and command of the stage, the lineup is a testament to the diversity and skill of all the performers. Limbo – The Return is more than just a circus performance; with breathtaking feats of athleticism, gravity-defying stunts, and a pulsating soundtrack that drives the action forward, this is a show not to be missed. Whether you’re a seasoned circus aficionado or a newcomer to the genre, Limbo promises to keep you captivated from beginning to end.
