Description

This is circus on a whole new theatrical level. The world premiere of Duel Reality bursts into Circus Hub from The 7 Fingers, the company who created the hit show Passagers – 'wondrous acrobatics from Cirque du Soleil spinoff' **** (Guardian). Star-crossed lovers. Two opposing teams. The stage is an arena. Competition can be playful at times, but also dangerously serious. Which side will you choose? Originally produced by and created with Virgin Voyages. Artistic Direction and staging: Shana Carroll.

Some of the skills and abilities on here were very impressive indeed. Personally I could have done without the shoehorned romeo and juliet plot with the monologues. It could have been two warring gangs and kept wordless, as the performers were gymnasts and athletes rather than actors. Still well worth a watch though.

We saw this tonight on the recommendation of friends, and were by turns amazed, enthralled and gasping with terror at the death defying leaps and falls. Definitely a five star performance!

Amazing show. I too had trouble picking between the circus show and I am super glad I chose this one. You won’t be disappointed

Absolutely insane show! So well thought through and executed - I'll definitely come back to see them in years to come.

Totally agree with all the superlatives in previous reviews (and ignore the person who said only half the show was circus skills - nonsense!) Totally absorbing throughout and very varied. Deserves to be full house at every show.

The 7 Fingers are a must-see! Their shows are flawlessly executed and Duel Reality very cleverly got the audience involved with their storyline (I don't want to give it away). The level of professionalism and skill truly has to be seen to be believed! These circus artists make immensely challenging tricks look effortless and breezy. The audience was gasping, laughing, yelling, cheering throughout the entire show - in the best way! I would watch this again and again if I could. 10/10!!

It was difficult to choose from the many circus-themed performances at the Fringe, but The 7 Fingers was an incredible choice. The whole performance was jaw-dropping and made me gasp several times throughout. The individually impressive stunts were woven into a beautifully performed Shakespearean narrative which allowed for a very enjoyable and cohesive experience. Highly recommend going to see this.

Incredible show by some singing Québecois circus performers. The acrobatics and Capulet-Montague storyline are amazing, but let's not overlook the spectacular music by Colin Gagné.

5/5 stars. Excellent acrobatic circus, based on Romeo and Juliet and committed to the storyline including quoting Shakespeare. Their skills were impressive and courageous, a wonderfully entertaining show for all the family, just wow!

A Must See show!

Claire Donnelly 45 days ago

The acrobatics were very impressive, however only about half the show felt like actual circus. The rest was dedicated to a pretty terrible storyline, would recommend another circus show if you're not fussed about making it into a story.

Marcus Ferreira-Lay 46 days ago

This was a stunning show. Simply one to watch. The skill that these performers have is so insanely good. 1 hour of amazing acrobatics, what else could you possibly ask for? The storyline could be a bit better though….

Colleen 46 days ago

Wow, what a show,. Well worth watching. TIP: if you can go for the middle entrance do so you will get a much better view of the see saw bit

Joe Downing 46 days ago

Oh. My. Word. This was one of the best shows I have ever seen. Everything from the multi level talented acrobats to the adapted story and even the beginning that I really believed at first - it all made the show so engaging and I was wowing for the whole thing.

Duel Reality is a spectacle that will truly astonish all who experience it. And should make parents a little more wary when their children ask to play on the seesaw!
