The Wau Wau Sisters’ Last Supper is a superb sacrilegious spectacle from start to finish, from audience members receiving a communion wafer on entering the supper room, to a Last Supper scene as the finale.
The sisters are acclaimed performers of “La Clique” and the world’s only two woman circus. The show is an energetic mix of character sketches, songs, trapeze and acrobatics. It gets off to a flying start – literally – with the duo as Catholic school girls performing an acrobatic striptease before transforming into born-again Country and Western performers for some musical entertainment, before transforming again into hippy chicks, then wild women.
They are inventive in their costume changes, performing them to comedy music or asking audience members to assist. Audience participation is a big part of the show, but is probably also its weakest point since it is inevitably funnier for the friends of those up on stage than for the rest of the audience and these pieces cannot help but suffer in comparison to the Wau Wau Sisters’ own impressive stunts. Understandably people are hesitant to volunteer (although it does put you in the enviable position of lying below a scantily clad Wau Wau Sister, so worth considering).
The Wau Waus’ trapeze routine is perfectly executed and spell binding, while their acrobatics ranges from erotic to comedic as they move from role to role. They are an incredibly talented and versatile pair, well worth seeing (as long as audience participation doesn’t make you squirm!).
