Description:

The hit aerial show has been adapted for KC Fringe Fest! The Glass Combat Re-Boot combines several classic tales into a new narrative where gender roles are meaningless and falling in love is inconsequential to the plot. This gender-inclusive circus retelling takes place in front of a pop goth inspired artistic backdrop, filled with goth pop culture music and plenty of black eyeliner. Acts include aerial disciplines such as silks, trapeze, lyra, cube, and corde lisse, and ground skills such as contortion, dance, and partner acrobatics. It is filled with fun and magic for everyone!

    Really loved the anti-binary and empowering retelling of the classic fairy tales. The entertainers were skilled and believable.

    We’ve been coming to fringe for 10 years now and this was definitely one of the best shows we’ve ever seen. The music was modern and relevant to the story, the whole cast was extremely talented, and it was overall a thoroughly enjoyable, awe-inspiring performance. Can’t recommend it enough!

    • Kelsey on July 26, 2022 at 7:31 am

    Oh my goodness, this show was so good! The movement, the aerial artistry and the visual storytelling all contributed and combined to one of the great theater viewing experiences of my life. Also the music was quite nice.

    WOW, what an amazing, talented, energetic group and an absolutely fun show! The choreography for every act was superb and the music was upbeat and fit each performance. I really feel this show should go on tour…

      Thank you so much, Tracie! Touring is an eventual goal, but the company just formed seven months ago. Every bit of support like yours helps us grow. 🙂

    We had no idea what to expect, but what we saw exceeded whatever our expectations could have been. The artistry, athleticism and energy radiating from the performers was electric. Such a joy to behold!! Will definitely follow the group and look forward to the next show.

    This show was absolutely incredible. I’m in awe of the amazing artists and the skillful scene changes. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all the emotions and everything that went into each character. The aerialists are phenomenal – strength, talent, and kindness!

      I am glad you felt the emotion of the characters. As an artist, it is important to me to create meaningful art that the audience can feel a connection with. Thank you for the compliment!

    This was a fun show to watch! Very entertaining; I loved the variety of aerial acts. So many artists in the air at once was stunning. Great energy, great choreo, confident performers, & fairy tales with a twist; what’s not to love? Definitely a show to see!

    • Kelsey on July 28, 2022 at 6:35 pm

      Thank you for the compliments! I am glad the audience enjoys watching the show as much as we enjoy performing it!
