The night before the wall came crumbling down last week, we took my sister on a surprise 'outing' to celebrate her birthday. In the grounds of Crown Perth (aka the casino) under the magical canvas of the Spiegeltent we watched in awe as the performers in the New York production Empire (two minute video of fabulousness) executed mind boggling feats..all on a 3metre round stage. Above Russian born Elena Lev twirls and contorts in a bubble high above the audience before a cascade of sparkling real bubbles rained down on us. It was adult circus at it's very best, rude, raunchy and incredibly funny! If you get a chance to see it, take it, you absolutely won't be disappointed. Perthites enjoyed it so much that the show was extended. I didn't take all that many shots, difficult with heads bobbing in front and stage lights, apart from that I really didn't want to miss a thing. I'll show you the finishing act tomorrow, it was incroyable! Have a great Tuesday, take care and stay safe.....The theme for September for City Daily Photo bloggers is "Pink."

Looks like it was a fab evening! An adult cirque.

ReplyDeleteHmmm I expected your return to be full of builders, I don't know why....
ReplyDeleteAt times like this, I wish I were twins, so one could sit back and enjoy the show and the other could take pix. Your shots are cool.
ReplyDeleteYou got some good shots there,you must be using a pretty good camera!
ReplyDeleteThe Spiegeltent is a perfect venue for such a performance. I wonder if the show will come here.

Not easy to get clear shots under these conditions Grace. You did a great job. PS. So did the performers.
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing, that girl must have been rather airless to do her performance in a bubble! Your photos are great.

ReplyDeleteThat the human body can be so strong and agile always amazes me, not to mention the sense of timing that has to impeccable!
ReplyDeleteWow. makes one feel like a wooden puppet and suddenly my back feels stiff and sore
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting act. It reminds me a little of Cirque du Soleil.
ReplyDeleteHi Grace! Re your question on The Villages: Yes, dear, they are "real" clouds! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, Grace! Never heard of a Spiegeltent before.
ReplyDeleteFunny enough just the other day I found an article from 1999 where my Brother makes a jump over several other gymnasts at the christmal-circus!
Looks amazing, especially the 'Zorbing' in space!
ReplyDeletei marvel at acrobatics ... nevermind stripper acrobats
