"… like living statues soaring between heaven
and earth…their heads in the sky, hearts close to
the sun … produced brilliantly eclectic images that
pay homage to Michelangelo, Mary Poppins, Folon and Magritte.”

"Insane, fantastic,
madness or simply wonderful rang the commentary
of the amazed audience about the joyous performance taking
place high over their heads..."
