THE COLENSO BBDO SEASON OF LIMBO
STRUT AND FRET, UNDERBELLY PRODUCTIONS AND SOUTHBANK CENTRE
4 March - 22 March 2015
The Festival Club at the Paradiso Spiegeltent, Aotea Square
Director Scott Maidment
Composer Sxip Shirey
The Colenso BBDO Season of LIMBO comes to the Festival Club at Auckland Arts Festival 2015, all a-sizzle after two sensational sell-out summer seasons on Londons Southbank and at the Brisbane and Sydney Arts Festivals.
Staged between heaven and hell, LIMBO is dirty and dangerous stuff, whisking audiences into a sinister netherworld of jaw-dropping contortion, gut-churning aerial acrobatics, mind-boggling illusions and fiery flames hot from Dante's inferno.
Presented in the magnificent Paradiso Spiegeltent, home to an array of swinging, searing gigs throughout the Auckland Arts Festival 2015, LIMBO comes complete with an international cast, each expert in their twisted fields.
The hair-raising skills of Belgian's expert contortionist Aurelién Oudot sit alongside Coney Island's sword swallower and vintage beauty, Heather Holliday; Europe's gravity-defying Chinese pole master and beatboxer, Mikael Bres; Australias acrobatic dancing sensation Hilton Denis, and Russian hand balancer Danik Abishev.
Dominated by a rambunctious live band under the hair-raising direction of New York's Sxip Shirey, LIMBO invites you to live dangerously; get right up close to the artists, see the sweat dripping and be amazed by their skills. Alone or together, they're hot!
The Colenso BBDO Season of LIMBO runs 4 - 22 March 2015 at the Festival Club in the Paradiso Spiegeltent, in Aotea Square (see performance details below). Other Festival Club shows include Neneh Cherry with Rocketnumbernine+, Phox, Depedro, Lake Street Dive, and Electric Swing Circus.
