Timber!
Timber! was the most organic, uplifting, raw and seductive acrobatic show I have yet seen. Sweat, axes and French bearded men never looked so good. Accompanied with traditional and electrifying music, each acrobatic set complemented the intense and rhythmic beat of the drum and strum of the guitar. Highlights from the night includes the grandfather slicing lemons with a meat cleaver, the three man T symbol and the little boy stealing away the show with a roly-poly as his bow. Timber! will leave your hands warm from the clapping, sore cheeks from smiling and speechless. (EV)
