Aerial performer suspended mid-air under a circular truss rig, body angled in motion as cool blue stage light pours down from above. Dramatic shadows and height emphasise the scale of the apparatus and the performer’s dynamic pose.

Elixir Revived

This show is Cirque Du Soleil meets Magic Mike.

From the creators of GODZ and RAILED.

Elixir Revived is an incredible remake of the timeless show Elixir, Head First Acrobats first ever production. The storyline stays true to the charm of the original, but the show has been upgraded on all fronts to be even more athletic, sexy, hilarious and outrageous.

Featuring new acts seamlessly interwoven through upgraded classics.

Elixir Revived follows four scientists who attempt to create the elixir of life. Working for an authoritarian pharmaceutical corporation, they are forced to test the concoctions on themselves. The mayhem that ensues is the perfect blend of physical comedy and athletic prowess.
