Cirkus Inferno The Umbrella Revolution Season closed Two latecomers (Amy Gordon and Jonah Logan), awkwardly clamber to their seats, all the time spilling the contents of their huge tubs of popcorn over the audience and creating all sorts of mayhem. We're all seated and waiting for Canada's Cirkus Inferno to begin, when all of a sudden the announcement is made that the show has been cancelled. Disappointed, the couple get up to leave but the temptation to take a closer look at all the precarious props that are placed around the stage gets the better of them. Not a good move it turns out, especially when the main attractions of this circus include a woman on jet powered rollerskates, a fire breathing monster dog and a rocketman who uses a pogo stick that's so powerful, he has to kick start it to launch himself into the stratosphere. Cirkus Inferno is ostensibly a show for children, and there's plenty of them in the crowd. But despite all intents and purposes, I can name at least two bigger kids who both couldn't stop laughing at the constant barrage of very clever sight gags and slapstick chaos created as the two hapless dolts simply don't know when to stop meddling with a whole range of volatile objects. A word of warning: the explosions are loud, the pyrotechnics dangerously spectacular and the stunts and action very physically exhaustive to watch. And the overall laughs are side splittingly hilarious. Cirkus Inferno is best likened to an hour long Looney Toon cartoon, with sounds and stage set to match. An absolute must see! |
