Returning to the Adelaide Fringe once again after a sparkling, all star run in 2025, La Ronde retains its position as THE standout show of the season. Bringing together some of the best international performers to the Spiegeltent in the Garden of Unearthly Delights, the awe-inspiring show will leave your jaw dropped and flabbers gasted as the performers put the bam in bamboozled! La Ronde (out of context): ladders on fire, apples on forks, people in the air, and a disco wrecking ball. The cast of La Ronde heralds from all over the world: Russia, Sweden, UK, Spain, Germany, Ukraine, and even Australia! From the sultry vocals of Gigi McFarlane and Danik Abishev’s sizzling balancing act to the aerial feats of Diana Bondarenko and Sergiy Mishchurenko, La Ronde stands out as a role model for what a variety show should be. Lj Marles amazes Fringe goers with an aerial performance in boots to kill for, much like Jenny Zavadskaia and her mesmerising aerial ropes act. And to even things out, David Eriksson tickles your humour until you’re as pink as he is! Beyond their top-notch skills, the cast has an unrivalled chemistry that makes it not only entertaining to watch but also quite heart touching. The performers share a sense of closeness between each other as well as the audience, evident through comedic side eyes, cheeky smirks, and just enough participation to keep you on your toes. La Ronde presents itself as an invitation to lose yourself in the extraordinary. RSVP yes and get your tickets to one of the best shows of the Fringe!
