GODZ – Australian Arts Review

Fresh from raves at 2022 Adelaide Fringe, Head First Acrobatics tossed themselves into the Melbourne season opener of Godz. The program is billed as “A hedonistic dive head-first into the lives of the ancient Gods of Mount Olympus.” These Gods are momentarily in the type of in shape boys, and they remained in rather a bawdy state of mind. Zeus himself presented our entertainers: Apollo, God of the Sun (Thomas Gorham), Cupid, God of Love (Liam Drummer); Dionysius, God of Wine (Jordan Twartz); and, from Zeus’s dalliance with a human female, the demigod Hercules (Callan Harris). All were really delighted to make eyeglasses of themselves for the home entertainment people simple mortals. The business has actually formerly brought offerings consisting of Elixir, Circus’ cision, and Railed to Melbourne. These getaways typically included unusual accomplishments of strength and coordination, involved comical circumstances including goofball characters. Godz have actually taken the design of previous work like Railed and pumped it with steroids and magic mushrooms. These ripped Gods reveal their superb abilities with balancing and toppling, with high testosterone handles device such as ribbons and diablo. The business continued their kind with physical funny, and exceptionally, even handled to get a laugh out of our pandemic trials. Be careful– when Godz are this spirited and effective, absolutely nothing is spiritual. Some might dislike specific scenes, such as the one where Christians lose their method. (Judging from the volume of laughter, for lots of, it was unexpected and humorous scene, predestined to end up being a Melbourne Fringe legend.) It would not be reasonable to mess up the surprises, however these Gods will definitely set you up for a wild flight of glamour and camp. Couple Godz with the 6.00 pm Deadset by Yuck circus at a sis place of the Runaway Festival Precinct, and you’re in for a quality night with these Olympians of Circus. GODZ
