Internationally renowned show ‘360 ALLSTARS’ returns to the Adelaide Fringe for another season of adrenaline-fuelled fun.
Presented by Onyx Productions and featuring a talented cast of international performers (all of whom are award winners in their chosen fields), ‘360 ALLSTARS’ expertly combines elements of circus, comedy and physical theatre into a high octane performance celebrating movement and street culture. Featuring acts such as BMX, beatboxing and breakdancing ‘360 ALLSTARS’ is not your typical circus and while it is aimed primarily towards a younger audience, viewers of any age will appreciate the raw talent and spectacular displays of strength and skill.
Over one action-packed hour, the talented cast push their bodies to the limits, delivering high-energy performances which defy the realms of possibility. Each fast-paced routine is perfectly complemented by the original music provided by director and multi award-winning musician Gene Peterson and Beatboxer Beau Monga (Winner of X-Factor, New Zealand). A loud mix of rap, beatboxing and percussion, each musical piece intensifies the energy of the performance, creating a palpable feeling of excitement which reverberates off the walls of the venue.
Two-time world champion BMX Flatlander Peter Sore defies gravity in a series of impressive stunts which push his bike to the limits and his routines will no doubt inspire wannabe riders (so parents you may want to prepare yourselves for an increase in bike related mishaps!). Basketball freestyler BasketballMan stuns the crowd with his incredible ball handling skills, his imaginative routine allowing him to inject a hint of comedy into the show. World champion breakdancer Bboy Leerok and Australian breakdance champion Bboy Sette dance up a storm in a series of routines which see them contort their bodies into seemingly impossible positions. Australia’s own Rowan Thomas (World record holding Cyr wheel artist and my personal favourite) completes the talented cast, delivering breathtaking routines which showcase the beauty and artistry of the Cyr wheel.
Natural entertainers, the men are clearly relishing their time on stage and their energy and enthusiasm is infectious. Their dedication and passion for their art form is obvious and their willingness to reach out and involve the audience kept us captivated until the final glorious moments.
This year ‘360 ALLSTARS’ is held in The Flamingo, a spacious venue with a surprisingly small stage and those in the front row risk getting very close and personal with the performers as there is very little room between the stage and the first row of seats (so make sure you sit back at all times).
An action-packed adventure from start to finish, it is easy to see why this incredible show sells out year after year. A five star experience which is sure to entertain. . . ‘360 ALLSTARS’ is a must-see.
