Geelong circus studio CircArts is premiering its brand new cabaret circus show to the Potato Shed in a riotous blend of comedy, breathtaking circus skills and just a little bit of naughtiness.
Developed and performed by CircArts’ world-class circus coaches, Off the Clock is a “sexy, acrobatic and comedic take on your 9-5 workday”, according to CircArts founder and show producer Rosa Pagani.
“Think The Office meets circus, or what would happen if a bunch of circus acrobats worked in an office together,” Pagani said.
“There’s all the different personalities – the multitasker, the guy that wants to climb the corporate ladder, the latecomer, the IT nerd, the manager, the gossipers.
“Every act is super acrobatic, high-flying, and you’ll either be glued to your seat or laughing your head off.”
The show is intended for people 16 years and over for its sultry undertones, with Pagani saying it was “risque, but not so much that it would offend your mum”.
“It’s 100 per cent a cabaret – it’s a little bit cheeky, a little bit fun, and mostly the show has been designed so you’ll laugh at us,” she said.
Pagani thanked CircArts artistic director, the Potato Shed and all the performers for their work on the new show.
“We’re so privileged to have such an incredible team of not just amazingly talented performers, but just incredibly lovely people,” she said.
“Teaching is one thing, but just to see them all in their element, creating and developing and working with their specialties, it’s just been amazing to be constantly reminded of just how extraordinary the people we have on our team are.”
Off the Clock is at the Potato Shed at 8pm on Saturday, November 9.
