Crossed Cutlasses is a high-seas circus adventure where two rival pirate crews collide in a race for treasure, glory, and control of the seas. As tempers flare and schemes unravel, daring captains and their crews must navigate shifting alliances, unexpected challenges, and the ever-present temptation of gold.
Featuring the signature blend of storytelling and circus artistry that audiences have come to expect from Circus Scorpius, Crossed Cutlasses combines aerial artistry, partner acrobatics, juggling, dance, and comedy to bring a swashbuckling world of pirates to life. From thrilling feats above the deck to mischievous encounters below, every member of the crew plays a role in this tale of adventure, rivalry, and discovery.
Packed with action, humor, and spectacular circus performances, Crossed Cutlasses is a family-friendly voyage for pirates and landlubbers alike.
Fringe has some amazing talent this year but this show was incredible. There were so many different acts and the story was fantastic. The charisma and energy of the performers was catchy for us in the audience, we felt like part of it!! Absolutely loved it and I’m going to even see it again!
It’s a pirate themed cirque show with female pirate captains, what more could I ask for? Loved every minute!
I love the story telling! It was a fun show and there was variety between the acts and aerial props they used! The acrobats looked like they were having a great time! Talented performers!
Both the cast and audience had INCREDIBLE energy! LOVED it.
Imagine you spend a decade preparing to destroy your rival only to compromise. I would have fought to the death if it were me….
Great show! so many different acts represented in just one hour made the time fly! I definitely want to see it again. I loved all the pirates on stage but I must say my favorite were the water fan dancers who looked so beautiful, and their precision made the spectacle all the more convincing.
