Adagio, Acrobatics – Melbourne (CODE – 306CCA)
This show is when circus meets renovation rescue. We attempt to renovate but with great disaster, the ladder breaks, paint tins fall, what goes wrong, goes wrong, with apparatus and skills such a teeterboard, ladder, manipulation, aerial rope, partner acrobatics, pitching, music and comedy to tell a story of perseverance and disaster. It is full of comedy and is great for people of all ages. The whole set is used as apparatus, a broom becomes a manipulation object, watering cans become chinese meteors, hammers become juggling clubs, the crash mat is a garden bed. They take a satirical look at the reality television shows such as ‘The Block’ and ‘Renovation Rescue’. ‘Using knockabout and slapstick in the haphazard world ofa building site to entertain and amaze its audience. They look to bring back the traditional larakin aussie humor and mix it with exciting circus skills and unique apparatus. In 2011 they were awarded the Circus Oz Award for the spirit of collaboration required in the world of circus for their show. With sold out shows at Adelaide Fringe Festival, Sydney Hoopla Festival and The Spiegletent at the Docklands.
