BLUSH — Circus for Grown Ups
Defying gravity and your childhood circus memories, this sultry blend of acrobatics, cabaret, fire-spinning and more is firmly for adults.
Overview
Roll up, roll up, the circus is back in Brisbane. Defying gravity and your childhood memories, however, the latest show to take over Queensland Performing Arts Centre's Cremorne Theatre definitely isn't for all ages. As its name makes plain, BLUSH — Circus for Grown Ups turns acrobatics, cabaret, fire-spinning and more into a sultry affair firmly for adults.
Brisbane has been no stranger to over-18 circus displays over the years, sometimes hitting up a big top, sometimes turning one of QPAC's spaces into one — and if your cheeks do indeed get red and flushed easily, including at the sight of nudity, consider yourself warned. This performance will unfurl its delights until Sunday, February 12, with six performers taking to the stage.
Expect a seductive and sexy effort from Christine Ibrahim, Paul Westbrook, Jessie McKibbin, Sophie Seccombe, Chris Carlos and Lyndon Johnson, with BLUSH picking up awards for Best Circus at Adelaide Fringe in 2018 and 2020, and at Fringeworld 2019 in-between.
And, yes, shows like this keep heading our way because they keep proving popular — so expect plenty of company.
