The performers certainly know how to excite and they continually succeed in doing so.\u00a0The action takes place on, around and above the stage.\u00a0From belly dancing to fire eating and bodies intertwined high off the ground performing dangerous maneuvers, Oracle has no shortage of spectacle.\u00a0All are great.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-144575 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/rsz_oracle_-gemini_jack_dawson__reed_kelly.jpg?resize=560%2C840&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/rsz_oracle_-gemini_jack_dawson__reed_kelly.jpg?w=560&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/rsz_oracle_-gemini_jack_dawson__reed_kelly.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My personal favourites were the heavenly twins Reed Kelly and Jack Dawson when they act out the origins of Gemini \u2013 brothers with the same mother, but different fathers.
