Wonderfully Terrible Things
FRINGE WORLD

The program promised “Boundary-pushing entertainment, dark comedy, original music, soaring vocals, and daring feature acts.” And we anticipated good things, knowing that the show had sold out in Adelaide Fringe and had received acclaim and many stars in reviews. The star of the show, Christine Ibrahim, a self-confessed slut and ‘yalla Habibi’ Iranian / Italian, ended her performance with a rendition of Cardi B’s WAP sang operatic style to Mozart's Night Aria from the Magic Flute. It worked, especially when her fellow performers pulled out water pistols and drenched her splayed legs whilst she reached the climax of the song from a daring position on circus ropes in the uppermost reaches of the Speigeltent.

Christine Ibrahim, known as the Cirque Songstress, is praised for her inspired creations and extraordinary vocals. Combining powerful vocals with aerial artistry, Christine has performed at Torture Garden (Japan), Draculas Cabaret, Rouge, Infamous and major festivals such as Adelaide, Melbourne and Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Christine has created a fully self-produced company that blends her powerful vocals with breathtaking aerial acrobatics. Original shows like "Wonderfully Terrible Things" and "Music Speaks" showcase the artistry that has made Christine a standout in the industry.
