Verdict: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (reviewed Saturday 21 September).
AFTER HOURS brings high end entertainment glamour back to Sydney. It’s like that lover that you can’t wait to wrap your arms around again after a break-up. I’m sorry, you whisper, and the make-up sex is fantastic.
This show seduces you with spine-tingling forbidden anticipation as soon as you walk in. The room is saturated with a party mood vibe as performers lounge near you flashing a bit of skin. Then when we are all seated, the show starts. And for 60 minutes, we are all entranced.
AFTER HOURS features a stellar line up of acrobats, dancers and circus artists performing lyra, partner balancing, hula hooping, flying pole, silks, cyr wheel, unicycle, juggling, handstands and more. Clothes are shredded and discarded as performers reveal much more than you would normally see in a circus, emulating the great entertainment venues of the world like Crazy Horse in Paris.
An unforgettable and mesmerising experience; one of my special guests was celebrating her birthday that night and said the show was ‘the most memorable birthday gift’ she had ever had!
AFTER HOURS played at Darling Quarter as part of Sydney Fringe till 22 September. For more about Cirqular Entertainment, go to https://www.cirqularentertainment.com.au/
