OBSERVER: La Ronde

Key points

• La Ronde opens its Melbourne season at Spiegel Haus Melbourne on Wednesday, October 21, at 7pm. The show combines circus, cabaret, comedy and live music in the Spiegeltent, with performers working close to the audience on a central stage.
• The Melbourne run follows an extended 260-show residency in Sydney and will continue until January 27. Producer Jess Copas says every act pushes the limits of what the human body can do, mixing technical skill with humour and danger.
• Bookings are available at spiegelhausmelb.com.
