Review – Oddacity

Odda­city prom­ised an “award-win­n­ing, best-of spec­tac­u­lar with a cast of inter­na­tion­al luminar­ies per­form­ing styl­ish acts”, under the beau­ti­ful sky­light in Bats’ Hey­day Dome.   I was­n’t sure what to expect, know­ing the theatre would­n’t suit aer­i­als or acro­bat­ics, but I hoped  for clowns.  I was not dis­ap­poin­ted in that sense.

Heavenly Circus

The geni­us minds behind Heav­enly Bur­lesque are back again for the Fringe and this time it’s free. Grav­ity and oth­er Myths is a spec­tac­u­lar out­door new cir­cus show­case inspired by the stars!

Vist Queen’s Wharf at night this week and you see some of the coun­try’s best new cir­cus, per­form­ing on a pur­pose-built out­door cir­cus rig, com­bined with pyro­tech­nics, spec­tac­u­lar light­ing, sound and AV design.

I’ve been prom­ised acts will use fire, trapeze, bungy, hula hoops, dance and object anim­a­tion, all to the loc­ally grown music of Rhi­an Shee­han, Mod­ule and more. This is prop­er cir­cus people, not with evil clowns.

Plus here is your chance to run away with the cir­cus in your lunch­time – Wel­ling­ton Cir­cus Trust are run­ning intro­duct­ory cir­cus work­shops at lunch­times (12.30 – 1.30) on the days of the show per­form­ances.
