On Tuesday morning, Circus Oz had a preview of their run at the Sky View Observatory.
Direct from Australia, the circus brings But Wait. . .There’s More, an astonishing mix of stunt jumping acrobatics, cutting edge juggling, virtuosic unicycling, elegant trapeze flying, the exciting Rou Cyr rim, cheeky impersonations, ridiculous knockabout, and multi-skilled human physical exuberance. But Wait. . .There’s More uses circus to satirise the rising tide of information, speed, consumerism, visual pollution, television, the ‘net’ and today’s manic fast-paced lifestyles. All of this is entwined within original music performed by Circus Oz’s live and physically acrobatic band.
Performed within a spectacular large-scale set inspired by an abandoned theatre in tatters, But Wait. . .There’s More accelerates to become a roller-coaster of infobesity, speed and choice-mania – a punchy, exciting and funny vaudeville-inspired show for audiences of all ages.
