Le Noir The Dark Side of Cirque
For those who are familiar with the contemporary circus company ‘Cirque du Soleil’ will be pleased to know that a darker, more mysterious performance has arrived at the Sydney Lyric Theatre. Produced by Simon Painter and Tim Lawson, Le Noir is the dark side of Cirque that features many of the former stars from the successful worldwide tour.
In a dynamic display of sheer flexibility and balance, Le Noir showcases an array of talented athletes, acrobats and spinning skaters. To help enhance the performance, the Sydney Lyric for the first time ever has constructed a custom built stage that offers a 360 degree view of the show, allowing the audience to get up close and personal. Come and watch the way they seem to defy gravity as they curve and contort their bodies in unimaginable ways.
Le Noir is truly a feast for the eyes. The costumes and make up are artistic and the scarlet lighting casts a dramatic effect over the performance. The stage presence is both daring and risqué, and the fine physique and raw beauty of the human figure should really be marvelled at when seen in this way. (SM)
