This explosive work merges dance, waacking, fire performance, singing and percussion in a tantalising show unlike any other seen in Perth. The cast of The Underground transports their audience to the heart of a vibrant and mysterious club in Latin America. A story of passion, romance and betrayal; observing the intimate lives of The Underground's employees, all set to the backing of smooth RnB and Latin rhythms.
