Whether you've never worked out a day in your life or are a mad gym junkie, WERK IT by Circus Trick Tease will get your heart rate right up, as they treat you to a truly unique 60-minute 'workout'.
Energetic' doesn't even begin to cover the theme of this show, as we see a fluorescent collision of aerials, acrobatics, juggling, contortion, physical theatre, comedy, and everything in between. Dressed in color-blocking workout gear that accentuates their unreal movements, WERK IT will completely immerse you in a world that celebrates the art of being flexible and strong in a wholesome and comedic manner.
Pushing the boundaries that travel beyond a traditional exercise room, the daring and dynamic squad will elevate the mood of the show with a generous garnish of sass, substance, and sexy arousal. The routines were just as quick as the costume changes and prop additions (which include but aren't limited to whips, tables, hula hoops, and a hefty set of balls). However, I can assure you that there is an average of a 30-second window before the audience erupts into audible gasps, as they are left shocked and gobsmacked at the agility, dexterity, and precision with which each 'exercise' was demonstrated via solo, duo, and group-based acts. Ever seen a woman in stilettos maneuvering a suspended beer barrel with poise? What about a passionate act involving coke bras? Oh and let's not forget about the wondrous display of the powerlifting tower involving three people! Throw in a few cheeky twerks or few and you got yourself a power workout! These are just some of the many memorable snippets that brought this show to a close with an emotional and roaring standing ovation.
With a tight choreography that complements the super-likeable personality of the five cast members, along with the daring and enthusiastic energy with which we are constantly wowed and inspired to move and strut our best bits, WERK IT is a show that you do not want to miss this Adelaide Fringe season. This is a fast-paced source of entertainment that will keep you engaged from start to finish and with the mix of gravity-defying stunts and exceptional comedy in vibrant spandex attire that is bound to delight. Expect to have your jaws sitting on the floor for a majority of the show, as you are surprised with act after act and get to bounce between fits of hysterics and absolute awe as you clutch to the edge of your seats for what's to come next.
BYO drink of choice and towel because it's going to be a sweat fest (and not the way you think)! Oh, and don't forget to bring a fully-charged phone so that you can Shazam your new workout playlist.
