REVIEW: BLANC DE BLAC ENCORE




What do you get when you combine cheeky cabaret, aerial acrobatics and the seductive art of burlesque? The sexy spectacular that is Blanc de Blanc Encore, of course!

After a string of sell-out shows at the Sydney Opera House, the team behind the original Blanc de Blanc showstopper that wowed Fringe-goers in both 2017 and 2018 have returned to the Garden of Unearthly Delights with a revamped, reinvigorated and just as raunchy ‘Encore’!

Leave your inhibitions at the door, fill your glass with plenty of bubbles and prepare to be transported to the Gatsby-esque roaring twenties with a night of sensuality, debauchery, and delicious decadence.

Hosts Remi Martin Lenx and Felix Pouliot charm audiences with their wits and *other* bits in a series of outrageous antics ranging from Felix’s quite literally ballsy opening act to Remi’s jaw-dropping instrumental act that will leave audiences well and truly dick-notised.

Prepare to be completely immersed in not only the seductive atmosphere but also the show itself, as members of the troupe, roam in amongst the crowd and will pop up in an aisle near you when you least expect it. From an all-out feather-filled pillow fight that sends cushions flying here, there and everywhere, to lap dances that defy the laws of flexibility, audience participation is a given - yet comes with a tantalising thrill rather than a feeling of despicable dread.

A cast of drop-dead gorgeous bombshells both male and female alike grace the stage to deliver sensual song covers, ravishing dance numbers and even high flying aerial acrobatics – all whilst dressed head to toe in sequins, ruffles and diamanté-studded lingerie sets that are absolutely to die for.

Amongst the sequin-studded cast hailing from Paris to Paraguay and everywhere in between lies a local face by the name of Melanie Hawkins, an Adelaide born and bred songstress who serenades audiences with her sultry notes and exotic moves.

Between the glitz, glamour, and sexuality that is sure to leave you enamoured, there lies an insane amount of sheer might and vigour behind each gravity-defying aerial act, each high leg kick amid a burlesque dance number, and each contortionist backbend. Blanc de Blanc Encore is more than just a “sex sells” sellout – it’s a showcase of sheer strength and skill that is sexy in so many ways than simply just physical.

The perfect ungodly addition to the Garden ofUnearthly Delights, Blanc de Blanc Encore perfectly encapsulates everything that the Adelaide Fringe is about: fun, frivolity, and fantasy. Be sure to snap up your tickets before Blanc de Blanc sells out, you won’t want to miss out on the mischief and mayhem of this best-kept Fringe show secret.
