Four Stars out of Five. Messenger News 12/11/07
THIS
Circus is not just a repertoire of tricks but the story of the social evolution
of women.
Performed in front of a screen showing images of women as far back in time as
artist Frida Kahlo in the 1940's, the small troupe of three kept the audience
entertained by showing their strength, stamina, agility and creativity.
Although
there is no dialogue, the show manages to bring to the surface a gamut of emotions
and at times, a bloody good laugh.
Word of warning though: ...it might leave you humming the tune to 'Sisters are
Doing it for Themselves'.
This is a must-see, especially for those who need confirmation that women can
be strong, confident, independent and highly skilled.

,... the introductory slideshow shone forth a work of art. The rope work is excellent and the Frida Kahlo routine - a braced body on a bed rising and contorting on softly streaming white fabric - is a shimmeringly brilliant piece of physical theatre. The hoop routine, given risque double entendre on the projection screen is utterly delicious - and the skills of the three girls are decidedly on the high side of the discipline. It's a quirky production that shows that new ideas can still emerge from old circus tricks.
