Back with Blanc again - First up at Melbourne's brand new winter wonderland, the Map57 Festival. Then moving on up to the tropical Northern Territory for Darwin Festival. Here has been a little of the positive press so far!
​
Sydney Morning Herald ★★★★½
​
"Dancer Laura New, a standout star of the show, performs a hilarious bubble-popping routine to a cover of Dead Kennedys' Too Drunk to F---, an appetiser for the antics to come."
​
Arts Hub
​
"There’s pumping dance beats, a little hip hop and ‘60s go-go, and Nouvelle Vague’s recent-ish take on the Dead Kennedys’ Too Drunk to F**k, which accompanies Laura New’s playful balloon-popping act."
​
Weekend Notes
​
There's a real depth to the talent of this troupe, with many awards to their credit between them, and it shows in their quality performance.
Catch Laura, headlining the exhilarating line-up of shows at the decadent Aurora Spiegeltent is the Melbourne premiere of the sizzling new circus show, BLANC de BLANC.
Selling out its critically acclaimed run at the Sydney Opera House, Brisbane Festival and Adelaide Fringe, along with a triumphant season in London’s West End, BLANC de BLANC features some of the best cabaret and acrobatic talent from around the world.
From the creative minds behind Madonna’s recent Rebel Heart Tour, the show will have audiences bubbling with excitement, with every act in the show was inspired by champagne.
​
“Giant bubbles, foam, a human champagne fountain and lots more surprises which I don’t want to give away,” Director and creator Scott Maidment said.
​
The production is choreographed by Kevin Maher, who has previously worked with Justin Bieber, Britney Spears and Madonna.
​
The MAP 57 complex will be popped-up next to the Palais Theatre from June 15 to July 30.
​
​
​
​
Blanc de Blanc will be playing at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in the epic Magic Mirror Speigeltent, located in the Garden of Unearthly delights in the city of Adelaide, down under.
Laura is venturing back home and is so excited to be part of a unique festival and to be back on tour with the cast and crew!
​
Blanc de Blanc brings the finest cabaret, dance and acrobatic talent from around the world into a wild, shimmering night. Anticipate big moves, great tunes, lots of skin, and more than a few surprises.
From the acclaimed creative minds behind Madonna's recent Rebel Heart tour and festival sensations LIMBO, Fear & Delight, and Cantina, this brand new production direct from London’s West End is a seductive, immersive and naughty night out.
