Airealism at Shunt

15th-18th October 2008; 22nd-25th October 2008

For their first outing to Shunt Airealism performed an amazing and experimental array of airborne acts: glowing insect-beings perform triples routine on trapeze, a suicidal businessman plunges to his death on the silk, an evil and disjointed doll is brought to life on hoop. Meanwhile an eerie gothic trio of rope artists are possessed by the spirit of Harry Belafonte! 'unfeigned avant-gardism' Time Out.
