Seductive, chaotic and unapologetically glamorous, Loca Vida invites audiences to pull back the velvet curtain and surrender to the wild energy of the crazy life. Expect big brass, sky-high kicks, exhilarating circus and pulse-racing spectacle from a hand-picked cast of international artists at the top of their game. 

From the creators of the global hits Blanc de Blanc Encore, La Ronde and The Party, this brand-new production delivers Strut & Fret's signature mix of world-class artistry, intoxicating glamour and delightful chaos. 

Set inside the intimate surrounds of the Spiegeltent, Loca Vida fuses jaw-dropping acrobatics, show-stopping choreography and a pulsing soundtrack into one unforgettable late-night experience.
