GODZ by Head First Acrobats.

Four skilled and charismatic Acrobats take to the stage to entertain and wow audiences in GODZ. The four Greek Gods dress to impress their target audience, which from the reactions they received from the auditorium they succeeded.

Zeus, their Father is displeased with how the four have currently been behaving. They are Apollo, the god of the Sun; Dionysus, the god of Wine; Cupid, the god of Love; and Hercules who is a mere demigod. Their human form takes the shape of four Australian acrobats from the award-winning Melbourne-based Head First Acrobats, who created the show.

Hercules disgraces his father and is banished to the underworld. The storyline is loose and never takes itself too seriously. The acrobats are there to entertain and perform their skills along with audience interaction and encouragement to cheer them on, not that they needed to for some of the audience.

Cupid performs an acrobatic trick with a stack of chairs, which at one point I did question how he would get down. Then from the side, others arrive to “help” him. It’s not a straightforward descent to the stage though. Cleverly choreographed and I am in awe of the skills used to perform safely.

It’s an adults-only show for a very good reason and they ask you not to film them at all and photograph certain scenes, which they state beforehand that are obvious and trust me they are. Apart from that they are happy for you to photograph and hopefully share on your social media platforms.

If you get the opportunity to watch GODZ I highly recommend the show. They also perform a children’s show as well which I have not seen. Although their strong rapport and onstage charisma suggest to me that it will also be a very entertaining children’s show.
