Cirque Berzerk @ Club Nokia
If you haven’t heard of Cirque Berzerk, you’re missing out on the gothic, circus inspired acrobatic weirdness that is this show.
“From authentic magicians, male trapeze artists, contortionists and a couple using acrobatic straps, Cirque Berzerk has it all. Actors dance, jump, twist and fly across the stage in dazzling and resplendent musical numbers. The physical highlight of the show is easily “Dig It Down,†where four men bounced from one trampoline to the top of a tall wall or to another trampoline on the other side. This carefully orchestrated event is fun, humorous, death-defying and brought the fearful audience to its feet several times Wednesday night. The music that accompanies the show covers every genre imaginable, compliments of pitch-perfect back up singers and a groovy band featuring Oingo Boingo bassist Johnny Avila. There are rock, cabaret, opera, heavy metal and ballad numbers, each matched with a different circus act. The music enhances the scenes and gave each one a distinct ambiance. Although the acts are amazing, the most outstanding element of the show is the work behind the scenes. The sets are brilliant and mesmerizing. Actors fill three-floored structures on either side of the stage as well as a main elevated stage filling the back. A white sheet acts as a backdrop for numerous projections throughout the show. The characters’ makeup and costumes are intricate, frightening and very Burton-esque.†     – Diana Tay, Daily Trojan, January 13, 2011
