Le Noir: The dark side of the circus

The headline act is called the Colombian Wheel of Death – it's the darker side of the circus and from tomorrow night onwards, Kiwi audiences will find out just what that means.

Twenty-five of the world's best circus performers make up the cast of Le Noir, and it is unashamedly racy.

There are sequins, feathers, a hula-hoop girl and semi-nude skaters. It's like Victoria's Secret meets the circus.

Story went along to experience first-hand the intimate show, where audiences will be getting up close and personal.
