Adelaide Fringe 2015

These two performers are the strongest in the world. We know that because they keep telling us. So it must be true. Flexing their muscles with their cheeky expressions, they are the epitome of strong people looking strong. And so they keep telling us. So it must be true, right?

 

The funny thing is that over the course of the show, there is stunt after stunt and act after act that showcases their strength, balance and showmanship. By the end of it I was believing that they really were the "strongest people in the world". They make you want to believe everything because they are so much fun!

 

There was comedy scattered throughout, in particular a cute scene where Sergei wooed Svetlana and found the perfect gift to win her heart. The audience loved it and no more so than when 4 children were asked to join them on stage. Squeals of delight, giggles and a tiny dose of fear made their experience memorable and fun.

 

Held in the Bally, a small and intimate venue, it managed to give the feeling of a Big Top. The sightlines weren’t great, so if you get a chance to sit in the front row, or stand at the back, you’ll have the best view.

This all ages show was a delight and the audience reaction, applause and laughter was testament to that.
