Spiegelworld presents Empire
Acrobatic excitement on a more-than-Spiegeltent scale.
Overview
This is one of those performances that makes you wonder why you can’t seductively spin that many hula hoops around your body dressed in a sexy lycra glitter suit, or dangle yourself from the ceiling with a single hand without raising a sweat. Or maybe it’s shows like this that make you realise why you can’t and shouldn’t ever attempt to do so.
Empire has been produced by Spiegelworld and is all about the Spiegeltent experience with circus-y, burlesque-y goings on inside. Think round seating in velvet booths, tons of mirrors, and a show that’s as intimate as you can get without becoming a part of the performance. If you've been to the Spiegeltent you know what you're in for.
There's also a carnival-style bar for those of us who simply cannot go without a glass of wine in our hands during a show, as you watch magicians, singers, extreme rollerskating, banana tricks, performers dangling in balls, slapstick and a few others showing off what their muscles can do.
