A stunning feast for the senses, LE NOIR – THE DARK SIDE OF CIRQUE is a distinctive and dynamic theatrical experience. It comes to Australia following a world tour and is performed on a custom-built stage, allowing a spectacular 360-degree view of the performance. It could be called Cirque du Soleil “after dark”, an intimate adult encounter with the magical world of Cirque.
The circus features 20 talented performers, including world-class acrobats, specialty acts and comedians captivating the audience as on a spellbinding journey of three acts – white, red and black. This production is seductive and at times risqué as it explores emotions through colours as the cast shift from delicate and pure white, through to the passion of red and finally closing with the darkness of LE NOIR.
“The original concept behind Le Noir was to take the very best of the best cirque performers in the world and rather than create a production in a huge auditorium or arena, produce an intimate style show where the audience is literally inches from the action on stage,” says the producer, Simon Painter.
LE NOIR never loses pace, is amusing and seriously entertaining, it is not to be missed – Vive la Cirque!
LE NOIR is currently playing the Sydney Lyric Theatre, The Star.
