Siro-A

Indescribable, clever, mind blowing would be some of the adjectives I could use but I choose ‘Out Of This World’. I understand they are a group of Japanese artists. They core group has a Video Artist, a DJ and Four dancers! I can’t really describe what it is but it was unlike anything I had ever seen. For £10 a ticket you can’t go wrong and check this out! Highly recommended.

Having first arrived at our West-​End a few years ago but departed to complete a world tour, Siro-​A has now returned to delight audiences that may have missed it the first time round. Combining the use of pyrotechnics, lively music, comedic acting of Japanese men and genuinely inspired choreography and dancing, Siro-​A has some spectacular moments and it has supreme potential to be mind-​blowing. However, at present it is only 1hr in duration, the show is being performed at the Leicester Square Theatre, which is too small to fully capture the essence of what is on stage and seemingly only one of the cast members can speak some English. There is much room for improvement but the ingenuity of what is on display makes this one of the most original shows I have ever seen. Never could I have imagined a show to be able to combine mime, dance, visual effects, martial arts, comedy and some audience participation to such great effect. Let’s face it, when it comes to bright lights, energy and innovation, the Japanese deliver 100%. If this is what they produce with just a crew of 6 people, one hour showtime and a small stage, their potential to truly be a phenomenon is immense. I hope they do another tour and return with more stunning material. Give me a Siro-​A, Siro-​B and Siro-​C!
