The boys from Head First Acrobats are back at the Fringe World Festival with their latest show, Elixir Revived. This revamped version of their original, much-loved production retains the essence of the first while cranking up the energy, athleticism, slapstick comedy, and outrageousness factor. Imagine Cirque Du Soleil meets Magic Mike, but with way more cheekiness and fun, plus a few unexpected twists.
The show kicks off with a chaotic zombie breakout, setting the stage for four eccentric scientists working for a mysterious pharmaceutical company. They're testing the Elixir of Life on themselves, and as you'd expect, everything goes hilariously wrong. Each experiment triggers insane physical feats, from mind-blowing acro-balance stunts to jaw-dropping circus acts that defy the laws of physics. (And yes, there’s even a cheeky moment involving some playful piss that leaves the audience in stitches.)
While Elixir Revived sticks close to the charm of the original, the acts have been upgraded to make the experience even more thrilling. It's cheeky, fun, and completely clear that these seasoned professionals can do it all. Between the outrageous comedy and gravity-defying athleticism, the four performers push the human body’s limits in ways that seem impossible.
More action-packed than a blockbuster and funnier than a stand-up show, Elixir Revived offers non-stop entertainment from start to finish. The electric energy between the performers is contagious, and judging by the packed tent at the Fringe World Festival, it’s clear that Perth audiences are already itching to see Head First Acrobats return next year.
Whether it’s your first time catching a Fringe show or you’ve been to plenty, this show is a must-see if you’re looking for a wild, laugh-out-loud, and jaw-dropping experience!
