Held in it's own grandeur tent in Ellis Park, Infamous returns to Adelaide Fringe with a world class variety circus show. With a cast of over 15 performers, the audience was treated to heart-pounding, jaw-dropping circus of world class calibre. Setting the tone for the night, was their anxiety inducing double wheel of death. Just when you thought the performers couldn't increase the complexity of their stunts, they pushed the boundaries of physics and human motion, without fear of the risks. It was a clever way to grab the intrigue and attention of the audience, as they continued through a 2-hour circus extravaganza of dance, burlesque, tightrope, juggling, trapeze, arial and slapstick comedy. There was no stone left unturned, each performer executed stunt after stunt with strength and control - clearly all masters of their crafts. Amongst the gasps of awe were cackles of laugher at the extremely cheeky crowd work which involved brazen pranks on the audience and no-shame flashes of nudity from some comedic performers. If you need a show that you know will deliver, Infamous is a well-curated circus escape, perfect for a night out this Fringe season.
