Fired-up Limbo crew unhinged

- KANE YOUNG

THE first act for next year’s Spiegelten­t Hobart season has been revealed, with popular 2016 headliners LIMBO returning to present another sexy, scintillat­ing spectacle in March.

Featuring a mix of circus, acrobatics, illusions and live music, LIMBO was the Spiegelten­t’s big-ticket attraction last year, consistent­ly selling out the 600-seat Spiegelten­t.

Now the show’s all-star internatio­nal cast are coming back with their new show Limbo Unhinged, an explosive blend of pyrotechni­cs, swordswall­owing, aerial shenanigan­s and pulsating live music.

The show has earned a slew of rave reviews since premiering at this year’s Adelaide Fringe Festival.

Limbo Unhinged stars the likes of Coney Island swordswall­ower and fire-breather Heather Holliday; Brazilian aerial wiz Marco Motta; handto-hand acrobatic duo Charlotte O’Sullivan (Canada) and Nicolas Jelmoni (Morocco); French contortion­ist Aurelien Oudot and gravity-defying beatboxer Mikael Bres; and Australian dance sensation Hilton Denis.

After an eight-week season at the Sydney Opera House, Limbo Unhinged will be performed in the Spiegelten­t at PW1 on the Hobart waterfront from March 8April 1.

The full Spiegelten­t Hobart program will be announced on December 8, with tickets available from www.spiegelten­thobart.com
