One of the most raging venues on site. The DJs and AV crew were relentless and I found it hard at times to pass by the Bigtop in search of new territory. The acrobats took to the air with athletic energy and tons of sultry, urban attitude, that only Brits can seriously pull off

The strength and agility on display serves to back up the sense of the body-as-a-machine mentality. This is what physical fine-tuning looks like. I couldn’t help but stare like an addict at their bodies. Sliding seamlessly between single acts to multiple, synchronised displays of humans in free flow, all in time to a high BPM while we pounded the ground with our feet and throwing our faces in the air to catch the action. It’s an experience!
