Sydney Festival 2015 is in Limbo!

“An irresistible cocktail of circus skills, live music and sexy humour” – Time Out (UK)

QT Sydney has teamed up with the naughty circus ‘Limbo’ showing at this years Sydney Festival to bring to early release tickets teamed with either dinner or lunch (depending on which session of the show you want to check out!), or an overnight stay!

After a sell-out season at Sydney Festival 2014, the ultimate other-worldly party, staged somewhere between heaven and hell, returns in 2015. LIMBO is dirty and dangerous circus-cabaret, whisking audiences into a sinister netherworld of jaw-dropping contortion, gut-churning aerial acrobatics, nail-biting stunts and staggering illusions.

HEAVEN CAN WAIT. THIS IS ONE HELL OF A PARTY!

Welcome to an exotic illogical world, where peculiar characters wait on the edge of false awakening. A with the whisper of spirits and domination, illusion, suspension; LIMBO is boundless.

An exotic mix of cabaret, circus and acrobatics, LIMBO will draw on both magic and music to seduce audiences with a celebration of otherworldly proportions.

LIMBO sold out its premiere season at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2013 before heading straight to London’s Southbank where it headlined the five-month long London Wonderground Festival and then Edinburgh’s Winter Wonderland in Scotland over Christmas.

Presented in the magnificent 1920s inspired Spiegeltent, LIMBO is full of cult couture from a cast of international performers. Music will be a dominating force of the production with New York’s Sxip Shirey composing exclusive music for the show with his ecstatic melodies, irreverent electric-acoustic noise and playful, sexy beats. He will be joined by musicians Grant Arthur and Mick Stuart.

UK illusionist Paul Kieve (Harry Potter, Matilda the Musical, Hugo) will bring mind-blowing theatrical illusions to the production to sit alongside Coney Island’s sword swallower and vintage beauty, Heather Holliday, American acrobat, aerialist, and film stuntman Jonathan Nosan, Europe’s gravity-defying Chinese pole master and beatboxer Mikael Bres and Australia’s acrobatic dancing sensation Hilton Denis and hand balancer Danik Abishev.
