Direct from Berlin and the headline act of The Famous Spiegeltent, The Trip is a daring, tongue-in-cheek circus show featuring seductive circus performances, including a contortion act inside a disco ball and a slippery acrobatics routine in a fish bowl filled with water.
Internationally acclaimed Polish stars of Royal-Variety and La Clique, The Caesar Twins star in this melange of contemporary vaudeville, new burlesque and circus alongside stunning Spanish boylesque contortionist David Pereira, larger than life darling of the New York drag scene Baby Jane and Ethiopian juggling sensation Girma Tsehai.
Berlin based pianist, singer and conferencier Jack Woodhead will feature as MC and the show also includes an acrobatic clown, and some of the world’s best in circus! The Trip is directed by Markus Pabst.
The all-star extravaganza The Trip has been lavishly assembled by David Pereira, the latest star to emerge from Base Berlin, a hub for creative artists established by The Caesar Twins. With his breathtaking disco ball contortion act, Spaniard David Pereira will amaze Melbourne audiences his unfathomable flexibility, strength and skill.
Having trained in ballet, David Pereira turned his hand acrobatics and won junior championships for the sport in Spain for five consecutive years. By the age of 18, David Pereira had found his calling on the stage for Cirque du Soleil and now regularly performs in self-produced work around the globe.
The Caesar Twins star alongside Pereira in this mélange of contemporary vaudeville, new burlesque and circus with their world-famous underwater routine.
The identical blonde twins Pablo and Pierre Caesar, described in The Observer as having sprung “fully formed from the fantasies of Jean-Paul Gaultier”, will perform their half-nude circus and gymnastics routine inside a large glass bowl filled with water.
The Caesar Twins have been performing together since their childhood, gaining notoriety for their act called “Wheel of Death”. However, in 2002, while performing this act, brother Pablo Caesar reportedly fell 16 metres and severely injured himself.
Nevertheless, after extensive surgery and months of rehabilitation, the brothers persevered and continue to train and perform together almost a decade on.
