The lighting design is nothing short of mesmerizing, casting a medley of colours that rhythmically shift and swirl, creating an atmosphere that feels both otherworldly and intimately connected to the pulsating heart of the underground music scene.
Adelaide Fringe Festival
The daringly brave high-flying performances, the must see-it-to-believe juggling acts and Art portrayed in the style of movement of the human body is what makes RITUAL a worthy Fringe contributor for 2024.
Although it was a seated performance, there were a few who couldn’t help but dance by the end; you can see why Simi gained nationwide popularity as one of the top performers on The Voice in 2015; his personality and playfulness kept the audience engaged throughout the show, the encore rang out past the hour with the pianist leading more soulful songs with Simi’s vocals.
This is an unassuming act, the musicians all have so much talent and working together they produced a quality show, this was evident by the way they held a captured their audience of all ages throughout their two sets.
Dancers become both a physical extension and vessel for poetry in the art of movement as the show bravely explores passion, vulnerability, sensuality and touch.

Overall, as far as variety shows goes YUMMY ICONIC has it all (literally everything you can think of). I also think it’s incredibly important that we support our LGBTQI+ artists and queer spaces in which the artform of Drag can be celebrated (especially with what’s happening in the US at the moment).
