Review – Fright or Flight

A quirky, almost wordless performance of dance, acrobatics and physical humour. Mostly plotless, the show revolves around different scenes featuring unique bird-like characters played by the three talented performers of 3 is a Crowd.

Without a vocal dialogue or narration the scenes can seem quite static, however, clever use of music helps to eliminate the tension that seems to arise from the focus of the company and audience alike. The slapstick style humour too can be a welcome relief between daring aerial maneuvers, but also provide some almost cringe-worthy moments, when you think to yourself, ‘surely, they’re not going to take it that far are they?’ And yes, most of the time they do.

Don’t let those pre-pubescent looking bodies fool you, these women are strong and capable of pulling off some truly magnificent feats of strength. Maybe not a state of the art creation, but this performance may be exactly what you need to make you take a step back and enjoy some of the sillier things in life. Be prepared for first class aerial choreography, that will leave you spell-bound.
