The result was a bold, high-octane production inspired by American daredevils, ’70s and ’80s glam rock, and an unapologetic “more is more” attitude. This bespoke show featured 12 specialty performers, a 50T crane, fire, motorbike stunts, iconic character performances, and stunning aerial acts. We had a lot of fun with the bespoke elements we researched for this show (including smoke grenades, a miniature motorbike & a flaming hoop).
The show called for performers skilled in crowd management as guests were flowing in and out of a party environment, performers who could knock the audiences socks off and a rock solid tech crew to tie it all together.
Our brief was to create a bespoke thirty minute outdoor production which could be repeated multiple times throughout the night – A show that was all color (purple specifically), fun and big energy.
