SUMMARY:SHIELD MAIDENS @ Bruns Picture House
DESCRIPTION:An all-female Viking circus spectacular!\nAfter a sellout run at Circus Arts\, SHIELD MAIDENS is back\, transforming the Brunswick Picture House into the Great Hall of the Vikings this solstice. Join us for a romp into the pagan celebration of an all-female Viking tribe! \nGather your tribe and see you there\, skol! \nABOUT SHIELD MAIDENS: \nShield Maidens is an all-female circus spectacular that tells a story of a tribe of Viking women\, their conflicts and battles\, using acrobatics\, aerial and fire to create a breathtaking experience. The women unapologetically inhabit an incredibly strong archetype — the dark force of the divine mother — her look wild with the passion of killing and ultimately\, survival. \nShow creator Alex Frith’s skills developed during a long career directing ground-breaking shows in Europe and the UK. His style is fast-paced and punchy with strong images and theatre effects. His unique mix of choreography and circus makes for high entertainment and Shield Maidens is no exception. \nLeather-clad women spin on ropes\, wield large axes and create a Viking world of harsh pagan landscape assisted by a dose of sequins and glitter to create a very engaging aesthetic. While safe in their seats\, the audience is able to be close to the action\, says Alex. “This is an immersive experience and you will feel like a part of the Viking world. \nThe show is an 18+ performance so leave the kids at home and liberate your Viking spirit. While not explicit or overtly violent\, it is directed toward adults in the spirit of a great party.” \nBrush off the winter blues and join us this June for a night to remember! \nDate/s: FRI 24 JUN @ 7PM\nSAT 25 JUN @ 7PM\nSUN 26 JUN @ 4PM \nDuration: Approximately 90 minutes. \nAge restrictions: 18+ \nIMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR TICKETHOLDERS: \nVENUE INFORMATION: Please note the Brunswick Picture House is located in Brunswick Heads NSW\, in the Northern Rivers region (NOT in Brunswick VIC).
