With Halloween drawing ever closer, all sorts of people are getting in touch regarding their horror-themed projects, and the latest goodie to land in our inbox is an exclusive clip from truTV’s “Fake Off” featuring “Kristef Strikes Back,” a four-member comedy acrobatics team from Vegas, in which they get in touch with their dark sides.
Formed by Kristofer Saly and Stefan Liden (i.e., Kristef), the troupe combines comedy and acrobatics in a totally unique way.
Born into circus families and friends since they were 6 years old, Kris and Stefan seem born to do hand-balancing and other acrobatic feats. As a duo they’ve traveled the world, but for “Fake Off” they’ve doubled in size to include Jacky, Kris’ fiancée, and Faegann. So performing with “girls” will be a Kristef first. The team has also never performed with props, nor worked within a particular theme. And it could be a challenge for Stefan’s strong body to embrace storytelling. But the entire team is ready for anything “Fake Off” can throw at them.
And what exactly is “Fake Off”? It’s an original performance competition series hosted by Rob Hoffman (Step Up 2) with judges Harry Shum Jr. (“Glee,” “The LXD”), Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas of the mega-group TLC, and world renowned visual and concept designer Michael Curry (Broadway’s The Lion King, Cirque du Soleil’s Love).
You can watch the premiere of “Fake Off” on Monday, October 27th, 10 p.m. (ET/PT) on truTV. Check out our exclusive clip below, and to learn more about Kristef and all the other talented teams, visit truTV.com.
The art of “faking “is the combination of theatre, dance, acrobatics, illusion, black light, shadow puppetry, and performance technologies to tell a story. Think Cirque du Soleil meets “America’s Got Talent.” Each week, the performance teams are challenged to create a totally original act that reimagines a theme or moment in pop culture to wow the audience and the judges to see who’s got truly got the skills and imagination to be named America’s “Fake Off” Champions.
