When you think of circus, it's easy to imagine a large tent with clowns honking their red noses, juggling and hitting each other with comedically huge hammers. Strange Chaos immediately shatters that expectation. From the moment you meet your hosts, you're thrown into a whirlwind of absurd humour which leaves you laughing at the unexpected. And, while there is a bit of juggling with balls, let’s just say it’s not the PG-13 kind...
The performances from Mitch (the deranged clown) and Sophia (their mysterious masked friend) are nothing short of remarkable, with chemistry and commitment that both holds the attention and delivers on laughs. But it’s the show’s immersive approach that sets it apart. Instead of arriving at a venue, you’re greeted in a park, where your hosts chat, snap photos and set up a sense of delightful chaos before even delivering you to the outdoor performance space. It’s a wild ride: absurd, unpredictable, and constantly shifting, with an ending that hits you out of nowhere, leaving the entire audience emotionally stunned.
