Aerial

"Their talent is undeniable, but there isn't a point in the entire show that truly takes the audience's breath away."

Aerial, produced by a crew from the festival's host city of Adelaide, is all about the maneuvers completed by the artists suspended in mid-air.

Their talent is undeniable, but there isn't a point in the entire show that truly takes the audience's breath away. Unfortunately the cast experienced a few technical issues during this show, including one acrobat's prop being stuck. The show lost the soundtrack at one point too, which was acknowledged by the MC whose place, alongside the other MC, was never really established and felt a bit weird. The sound tech on its own was a bit loose, with transitions between tracks jagged. The foundation for an impressive performance exists, they just need to build up the experience and the confidence.
