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
[caption id="attachment_20068" align="alignnone" width="683"]
Rolla Bolla[/caption]
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
[caption id="attachment_20066" align="alignnone" width="1024"]
Wheel Of Death[/caption]
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.
[caption id="attachment_20074" align="alignnone" width="680"]
Duo Strap[/caption]
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
[caption id="attachment_20073" align="alignnone" width="1020"] Sphere of Fear[/caption]
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.
[caption id="attachment_20071" align="alignnone" width="641"]
Fire Act[/caption]
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.

With that modern Italian-vibe and a menu endorsed by Jamie Oliver himself, this will certainly be a special treat for you and your loved ones. The special Christmas menu includes a selection of starters, mains and of course, desserts. What really attracted us was the Gennaro’s Porchetta. It’s a main dish consisting of slow-cooked pork belly stuffed with apricot, apple, fennel & garlic, then served with braised red cabbage & pan juices. Also, did we tell you that all guests will be presented with a glass of bubbly upon arrival? What a perfect way to start a Christmas feast!
