Blanc de Blanc

For a show encompassing every element of entertainment with a side of razzmatazz, head to the Sydney Opera House to witness a very fancy variety show Blanc de Blanc. Creator and Director Scott Maidment describes it as a crazy party of dance, circus and acrobatics all set with the energy of champagne.

Maidment has had experience working in this industry before with LIMBO, which was performed at Sydney Festival and Cantina. His idea for this performance was to create something out of the ordinary.

“Basically I wanted to do something that was cool and sophisticated but was anarchic and subversive at the same time,” he said. “So what I’ve done is chosen performers [from] all around the world and mashed them together from different skills and background. It has the energy of old school glamour and champagne into this crazy cocktail circus show.”

You’ll see great music, great dance numbers, award-winning circus acts and all around great comedy.

There will be some entertaining dance numbers choreographed by Kevin Maher who has worked with the likes of Madonna and Jennifer Lopez. Maidment explained that a number of the performers and dancers are from LA, France and Las Vegas––which is a great excuse to see the show as the audience wouldn’t have the chance to see them otherwise.

Guests are invited to wear vintage attire, white and gold, circus chic or a bit of sparkle. (AMal)
