Experience ‘Unholy’: An Immersive Circus Show at Paradiso Theater
Welcome to Paradiso Theater
The Paradiso Theater has officially opened its doors on Lincoln Road, emerging from its previous identity as a club to present a stunning new offering: “Unholy.” This show is designed to challenge traditional expectations and immerse audiences in a captivating narrative inspired by John Milton’s classic, “Paradise Lost.”
A Unique Artistic Interpretation
“Unholy” intertwines themes of temptation and rebellion, showcasing an array of extraordinary performances. Silvia Dopazo, one of the creative minds behind the show, explains, “The show ‘Unholy’ is based on the characters in the story of ‘Paradise Lost’ from John Milton. It’s a classic, and we bring comedy.”
The cast is composed of elite performers, including former Cirque du Soleil artists, who bring a level of artistry and skill that is sure to leave a lasting impression on the audience.
Visually Stunning Performances
As the story unfolds, the production begins in a paradisiacal setting, depicted through high-level flexibility and contortionists who create almost sculptural forms. Dopazo elaborates, “We start in paradise, so everything feels beautiful and in harmony.”
Immersive Audience Experience
What sets “Unholy” apart is its close proximity to the spectators. Amber Joy Lane, the show’s host and a comedic talent, shares insights about the immersive format: “What’s special about this show is that you are getting world-class circus performers in a very intimate space. Right about your head, people will be flipping and turning.”
Lane’s infectious personality and humor serve to enhance the audience’s experience, as she moves among the crowd, making each person feel like part of the performance. She quips, “We do have a stage, but the entire room is my stage. I might take a little seat on your lap, like, you are part of this show.”
