RAILED ★★★★☆

The team from Head First Acrobats are back at Adelaide Fringe this year with their quirky western themed circus spectacular display of “RAILED”. This performance is from the same crew that have already been blowing audiences away with “GODZ” and “ELIXIR”.

 


“RAILED” is not your typical circus show however, it blends physical theatre, comedy, acrobatics, some finely chiselled male bodies, eroticism, and a bit of magic all set to a fabulous music track.

 


The stunts will leave you agape in wonderment – chair balancing, juggling, knife throwing, aerial acrobatics and more, but it is the genius comic timing and slapstick routines that really set this apart from other physical theatre displays.

 


Have you ever seen a (graphic!) love story between a unicorn and horse play out before your eyes, or slow motion erotic bar brawls which make you question your own sexuality? Well now is the perfect time to delve into this unique experience!

 


Believe it or not, they also cater for the younger generation with their production “PreHysterical Circus”. This might be a good option if you’re looking for something a bit more G-rated, as this show is definitely not one for the kids!

“RAILED” is perfect if you’re looking for a riotous and unruly night out. Grab your best mates, buckle on your leather chaps and cowboy boots and strap yourself in for an evening of debaucherous fun!
