With the combination of Greek mythological gods and acrobatics, how could a show be anything but entertaining? This is a show like nothing I’ve ever seen before.

GODZ contains a great deal of creativity in the stylistic choices of using the theme to support and uplift the physicality of acrobatics. It is both an appreciation of the well-known characters and a satire of the masculine traits that they would otherwise be known for.

The crowd piled in for the performance and every chair was filled, with an adult audience that was a vast array of demographics and ages. I have never been to a show before that had consistent laughter from the audience for the entirety of the performance. The ‘Head First Acrobats’ are overachievers when it comes to physical humour, with most jokes not even needing to be spoken.

The audience was captivated by shock, amazement, and flamboyant poses. But the fun of the performance doesn’t discredit their immense strength and balance whilst stacking chairs, or each other. The comedic elements to GODZ fills in the spaces between tricks that other acrobatic performances may fill with silence, and makes for a well-rounded show that doesn’t faulter.

The performers didn’t shy away from displaying their variety of talents, with multiple props, such as ladders and whips, being used to showcase what the Greek gods can do. The show really leant into the personalities of, Hercules, Cupid, Apollo, and Dionyses, but added some flair. An interwoven plot was loosely blended in to the show, making for an entertaining dynamic between the characters and the voice of Zeus.

Once the show ended, it wasn’t a surprise to me why the tent had been fully packed with an audience eager to watch. The Vault tent was the perfect venue to contain the atmosphere of the musical numbers and aerial routines. If you wish to have a good laugh and be filled with amazement at what talented people can do, get your tickets for GODZ!
