Cirque Adrenaline’s Death-Defying Acrobatic Acts Had Us Gasping “Oh My God” At Every Turn

Looking for an event to head to that will have you at the edge of your seat? Look no further because Cirque Adrenaline has arrived in Singapore and it’s got the crowd spell-bounded. From the producers behind acclaimed shows The Illusionists and Le Noir, Cirque Adrenaline showcases some of the most daring and death-defying acrobatic acts!

Cirque Adrenaline

Cirque Adrenaline’s troupe of over 30 performers is renowned for its theatrical flair and jaw-dropping acrobatic displays. We headed down to Cirque Adrenaline and we must admit, we were spellbound by the displays of strength, agility and sheer bravery.

Wheel Of Death

The piece de resistance of Cirque Adrenaline had to be Wheel of Death, with two agile trapeze artists perched precariously on a structure hanging above the audience the Wheel Of Death had even us gasping with shock. By far our favourite act of the entire show, the Wheel of Death pushes the boundaries of high-risk stunts.

If you’re a fan of Cirque De Soleil, the Duo Strap might just be your favourite aeriel act. It was amazing how flexible and agile the performers were. Watching them move so gracefully and in tandem with such careful precision, made us mere mortals feel slightly more than clumsy!

Sphere of Fear

Another Cirque Adrenaline act that will make it worth every cent spent is the Sphere of Fear. Once an act that was often witnessed at carnivals. This particular act sees a motorcyclists make 360 turns within a metal sphere. The feat is difficult and dangerous enough, but Cirque Adrenaline sets a whole standard for this high-risk stunt. With 3 motorcyclist making synchronised stunts missing each other by split seconds the Sphere of Fear was certainly a heart-pounding act worth catching.

The Fire Act not only caught our attention, it also made us realise the sheer bravery, time and effort that goes behind every act during Cirque Adrenaline. The Fire Act saw fire-breathers twirling multiple rods of flames. If we doubted the authenticity of the flames, we were proven wrong when the smell of ash and flames filled the theatre.

Our ambassador Stephanie Ler headed down to Marina Bay Sands Mastercard Theatres to catch Cirque Adrenaline. This is what she had to say about the amazing acrobatic death-defying acts:

So if you’re keen to catch acrobatic acts that will push the boundaries of gravity (plus it’s fun for the whole family), head on down to Marina Bay Sands and catch Cirque Adrenaline! Not only will it keep you at the edge of your seat you’ll be amazed at the sheer grit and agility of the acrobatic performers.

These 7 Spoil Market Proposals Will Really Make You Panic If All The Good Guys Are Taken

There’s nothing like watching a wedding proposal.  The romance, the nervous energy, the overall #Feels you get and of course watching the look of pure joy from the bride-to-be’s face could melt a heart of stone. Here are 7 reactions from Singapore girls who were proposed to all over Singapore!

1.

This Singapore proposal starts off with the bride-to-be (Melissa) sitting at a cafe in Singapore’s Changi Airport before she’s surrounded by a singing and dancing flash mob.

Of course her husband-to-be (John) heads the dancing flash mob with the Singapore Show Choir Academy performing the old classic ‘Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love For You’.

The proposal ends with happy tears, a huge crowd and even a few dancing flight attendants!

Props to John for going big on his proposal. The time and effort it probably took to pull this off! And let’s not forget, nothing is as nerve wrecking as proposing in front of a huge audience!

Check out the very cute and musical proposal HERE!

2.

Taking place backstage, a huge dance crew sits to watch a dance performance (by their very own).  9 dance performers pull the ‘bride-to-be’ centre stage before there’s a skip in the song.  Lo and behold! The ‘bride-to-be’ pulls one of performers on the seat on stage instead (the look of shock-surprise definitely got to us)!

Fiance-to-be (Faliq), stands up from the audience belting out along to “Marry You” causing girlfriend Shazi to start tearing up. Faliq then goes on to to tell his girlfriend and the crowd, the many reasons why he fell in love with her (despite failing the MRT test)!

Faliq pulls off a stunning proposal. Funny, romantic and taking bride-to-be Shaz completely by surprise this Singapore proposal had us feeling all warm and fuzzy!

Check out the EPIC proposal HERE!

3.

Taking place at Marina Barrage, this Singapore proposal started off with a bit of a squabble (“You want to sit here?!”) before groom-to-be, Raihan turns his fiancee-to-be, Huda around to check out ‘the view’.

The view being dancers from EYED movement doing a small flashmob performance along to a remix of “Treasure”. Raihan then further surprises Huda with a gathering of family and friends, he then of course goes on bended knee and pops the question to a teary eyed Huda.

Family and friends made this particular proposal really heart-warming. Reminding us that even though only two people are joined in matrimony family and friends play a major role as well.

Check out the family filled proposal HERE!

4.

What’s more romantic than a destination proposal? A romantic destination proposal which takes you completely off-guard of course! Bride-to-be Meiting was treated to a slideshow made by boyfriend Shunxiong (who took several late nights to finish it).

Already teary-eyed, Meiting is then brought to the sandy beaches of Maldives where Shunxiong is already waiting with a bouquet of red roses.

He then pops the question on bended knee whereby teary eyed Meiting replies with a pretty Singaporean answer, “Yes lah!”.

While the destination proposal is probably a rarity among Singaporeans, what really got us impressed was the time and effort groom-to-be Shunxiong took to do up the slideshow.

5.

Unsuspecting bride-to-be Karen watches a flashmob perform along to the Bruno Mars hit “I Think I Want To Marry You”. Karen doesn’t suspect a thing, until the flashmob performers unveil the message ‘Will U Marry Me?”. Karen then has friends and family gather around her making way for groom-to-be Ivan. Ivan proclaims his love for Karen before popping the very important question.

While the proposal was pretty simple compared to several big proposals, the simplicity of the proposal just made it all the more romantic.

Check out the cute proposal HERE!

6.

Set at the Botanic Gardens, unsuspecting bride-to-be Elizabeth is brought out of the park’s restaurant with her arms full of single stalk flowers. She’s brought around the Botanic Gardens with friends and family handing her hand written notes, balloons and flowers.

The peak of the walk comes when she’s brought to the park’s pavilion where boyfriend Gary is awaiting her arrival. He hands her a huge bouquet of red roses and pops the question we all know is coming.

This simple proposal had no flashmob, music or performances. Yet it’s the presence of family and friends who were around to spend the special day with, that made this proposal all the more romantic.

Check out the simple and romantic proposal HERE.

7.

Bride and groom-to-be, Johnathan and Patrina walk into a church together. Unsuspecting Patrina then gets a pleasant surprise when Johnathan pulls out a guitar and starts serenading her (with his own composition mind you!).

Patrina instantly tears up as the church starts to fill with family and friends. The Singapore Show Choir that joins in on the performance singing backup for Johnathan.

Johnathan hands her a bouquet of flowers before going down on bended knee. Patrina, with teary eyes and a big smile replies with “Of course I will”.

The proposal was all the more romantic when you pay close attention to the lyrics of the song Johnathan composed. Offering viewers a small snippet of their lives together. And of course the way Johnathan looks at (now) fiancee Patrina, got us all hoping that one day we might be so lucky!

These 7 Singaporean proposals, not only got us girls daydreaming about our own proposals (that are hopefully going to come someday)! Let’s hope 2017 will see a lot more jawdropping – romantic proposals come our way!
