MEL đŠđș You might think youâve seen juggling before, but this show defies everything you know. The performersâMelbourneâs own Byron Hutton, Richard Sullivan, and Samuel Kreusler (who also composed the live score)âdeliver a performance so intricately timed, so effortlessly cool, that you forget youâre watching a circus act.
The rhythm and musicality woven into each juggling sequence create a hypnotic, almost meditative atmosphere, while the performersâ energy bursts from the stage with each daring move. The showâs ability to blend complex juggling techniques with sleek, stylish choreography elevates it far beyond the usual circus fare, making it a standout performance of Melbourne Fringe 2024.
The seamless integration of Kreuslerâs live guitar only enhances the experience, with the music moving fluidly between percussive beats and driving electronica, matching the performersâ intensity. The result is a spectacle thatâs as much about sound and atmosphere as it is about movementâ we didnât just watched Escalate, we felt it.
