Direct from sell-out seasons across the country including Sydney Opera House and a headline show at the Kermezzo Festival in Brussels, the Gold Coast premiere of Helpmann Award nominated LIMBO Unhinged will feature in the Spiegeltent Gold Coast program as part of Bleach* The Gold Coast Festival.
The Spiegeltent is returning to Broadbeach in a new location at Gold Coast Bulletin Centenary Park (just near The Star Gold Coast). Continuing the edge-of-your-seat spectacle expected from the Strut & Fret Production House (who also delivered Blanc de Blanc), LIMBO Unhinged will unleash pyrotechnics, sword-swallowing and aerial shenanigans against a live soundtrack in the Spiegeltent from 17 April to 12 May 2019.
The show’s international cast return with performers including Coney Island Sword Swallower Heather Holliday (USA), Australian tap dancer Hilton Denis, aerial wiz Marco Motta (BRA), gravity-defying Chinese Pole and beatboxer Mikael Bres (FRA), hand-to-hand experts Charlotte O’Sullivan (CAN) and Nicolas Jelmoni (MCO), alongside the acrobatic expertise and comedic timing of Rémi Martin Lenz (GER).
Scott Maidment, Director of Limbo Unhinged and founder of Strut & Fret says, “We’re so excited to come back to the Gold Coast with this breath-taking wild ride performed by a mix of international performers and musicians with very unique talents.”
Sydney musician Mick Stuart (AUS) will lead the live ensemble, performing melodies and electro-acoustic noise composed exclusively by New York’s Jank maestro Sxip Shirey (USA). Gold Coast Bulletin Centenary Park will be transformed into an edgy underworld inside the iconic Victoria Spiegeltent, complete with death-defying acrobatics, fire-breathing, sword-swallowing and rollerblading.
Transitioning between a place of mystery and darkness to a place of exhilaration and fervor, Limbo Unhinged hopes to leave you feeling positively unhinged! Limbo Unhinged features as an integral part of Gold Coast’s signature arts and culture festival; Bleach*.
Artistic Director and CEO, Louise Bezzina says, “We are absolutely thrilled to once again have Strut and Fret Production as part of the Festival, with LIMBO Unhinged taking place in the Spiegeltent. It is a high-impact show filled with mystery and intrigue and we’re sure Gold Coast audiences will absolutely love it.”
