RAILED – Live from The Sydney Fringe Festival
Welcome to ‘Railed’, a western-themed circus spectacular, combining the trademark physical talents, finely chiselled bodies and hilarious comic timing of the Head First Acrobats.
Prepare yourself for when bare chested circus meets bare knuckle bar fights. A racy, heart-stopping display of the finest acrobatics by the most ridiculous storytellers in the circus.
Leave your expectations at home, come to the wrong side of the tracks, and let the HFA boys steal your hearts.
Railed will take over Spiegeltent Festival Garden at the Sydney Fringe Festiva, right here at The Entertainment Quarter.
Edinburgh Fringe regulars, the Australia-based Head First Acrobats, are back with another new production, having established themselves as a high energy, high skilled circus that love a good theme to run with. Railed delivers all that.
Railed is the new show from the team that brought you GODZ (also performing at this years Sydny Fringe Festival)
About the Show:
We enter to some American rock and roll music blasting.
Cactus and saloon door props, wooden chairs and an old bar sit off to the side of stage.
As we take our seats you half expect a tumble weed to come blowing through, it’s very atmospheric and the idea of “it’s the Old West” won’t be lost on anybody. It’s all a bit on the nose, but Head First aren’t ones to deal in subtext and subtlety.
They’re a circus that wants to thrill, and this is traditional circus style, with added storytelling, no more. There are no deeper meanings being explored here, which is fine, because their target audience are here for a good time, to lose themselves in tricks, stunts and fast paced entertainment. So turn off your brain and settle in for the diet-coke-commercial version of circus.
★★★★★Glam Adelaide
‘Keep the kids at home and spice up your night with a ballsy bevy of beefcake.’
★★★★Fest magazine
‘The sheer eroticism expressed by these boys is astounding.’
Railed is upbeat and wholly unironic, lampooning queer culture with silent one-liners spread across a quadrant formed by four men zinged high up in acrobatic manoeuvres.’ – SeeSaw Mag
