Praise for Passagers:

‘…a high-energy reflection on the passing of life as seen through the travellers on a train journey.’ — The Stage

‘Every member of the company bring skills honed over a lifetime of performance from Maude Parent’s brilliant ‘time stopping’ contortion routine to Lucas Boutin who takes pole dancing to a whole new level with his Chinese Pole performance, at one point making the audience gasp as he appears to fall head first from the top of the stage stopping inches from the floor.’ — Revolution Radio

‘Bodies bend, balance and bounce. Twist, turn and tumble. There is an irresistible pulse of perpetual motion.’ — Total MK

‘The performance allowed each of the 9 individuals to shine throughout the different scenes as they performed nail biting stunts from ridiculous heights, floating on silks, hoop tumbling and wire walking. They seamlessly transitioned through their storyline with powerful music, breathtaking projections and enchanting movement.’— Style Birmingham

‘Each of the performers are individuals at the top of their game. As the story progressed they performed nail-biting stunts from up high, and a turn on a pole where you really wondered how the performer’s body allows him to move so effortlessly up and down the pole.’ — Cranfield & Marston Vale Chronicle

‘It feels like a very modernised version of circus – all the talent without the stereotypes.’ — In the Lights

‘Physique fantastique forms are captured in a generic New York Grand Central Station sunbeam-streaked concourse. Suggestive, clandestine lovers’ liaisons collude beneath paper-flake tattered billboards like proscribed Jackson Pollock East Berlin expositions.’ — The Reviews Hub

‘The Seven Fingers prove that a circus does not have to involve clowns or novelty tricks and instead can make magic in a different form.’ — Redbrick
