"… 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.”
Nord Éclair,
France
"Insane, fantastic,
madness or simply wonderful rang the commentary
of the amazed audience about the joyous performance taking
place high over their heads..."
Oberhessische Presse,
Germany
"Swoon! will make hearts go
pitter-pat no matter how old the viewer."

Swoon! (25 min. no intermission)
Swoon! is a 20 minute performance where 4 daredevil
Australians tell a spectacular story of love, loss, joy and
freedom up on high. It was awarded the Second Prize at the
1999 and 2000 Shizuoka Daidogei World Cup, and has been performed

beauty, love and laughter.
