'Handmade/Manmade' is awash with surreal surprises and stagecraft. The sensory show bounces high above three structures catching magical moments and awesome, spectacular bungee propelled swinging and swooping.
We love and hate the ties that bind us to reality... Wired Aerial Theatre trick the laws of gravity and audience's perception of what's real in their own synthetic paradise, but hey, what's real anyway in an artificial world?
Wendy and her delightful duo chase their tails and go nowhere fast. They are just too darned busy to accomplish anything much. They have forgotten what is real, how to press eject and how they ever functioned before they started running at life.
"... Wired Aerial Theatre's work 'Handmade/Manmade' is a stand out creation because not only is it very clever, superbly performed and crafted it's actually entertaining... One of those creations in the wacky world of contemporary dance that makes you believe this wretched art-form can, just maybe, be something that doesn't make you want to beat your own head with a milk bottle!" (Article 19)
