FRINGE 2015: Scotch and Soda – Garden of Unearthly Delights, Aurora Spiegeltent – 5K

Held in the Garden of Unearthly Delight’s Aurora Spiegeltent, this spectacular show suits the venue perfectly as the audience is able to ogle in wonder at the performance from a variety of angles.  A heady blend of circus theatre and vibrant live music, Scotch and Soda is a delightfully intoxicating show, serving up an evening of brazen vaudevillian revery.

Quite simply, the talent of the performers is incredible. From trapeze work to rollerskating on tables and flipping each other through the air, the exhibition of extraordinary strength and acrobatic ability makes the show exhilarating from the outset. However, the performers not only have exquisite balance in a literal sense, but also in that they are able to demonstrate their impressive level of skill without being mechanical, maintaining a sense of passion and an element of cheeky physical humor that adds a convivial dimension to the show. The score and acts in the show vary their tempo from raucously chaotic to dramatic and heart stopping, creating an unpredictability that keeps the crowd enthralled throughout. The music further augments the performance with precise timing, heightening the drama of the amazing spectacle occurring onstage. Spirited and breathtaking, Scotch and Soda is definitely a show not to miss.
