Limbo

It’s easy to see why Limbo sold out in 2014. And also why Sydney Festival would rebook them. Sex sells! I mean, yes, the people are talented, freakishly so. But they are also freakishly, freakishly good looking with buckets of charisma and sex appeal.

The 70-minutes flies by, and even though it’s described as being circus cabaret it comes across more as burlesque than cabaret, circlesque if you will. Punters shouldn’t expect jazz hands. They should expect the women tantalising and pouty, the men buff yet playful.

While using the words fresh or unique or groundbreaking would be a lie, it is hipster-style fun, worth your time and pennies. (ES)
