I was blown away by Apricity. I really enjoyed the calmness of it all as the performers showed such incredible strength and grace. The bond between them was clearly visible and their performance was full of joy. I was captivated by the beautiful choreography, music and the relationship between the performers. Fantastic show.

The show was fantastic, really breath taking!
However, the seating may have been handled better - people were quite rude.

Wow! We ended up seeing this kind of by accident and I'm so glad we went. A wonderful combination of heartfelt dance and breathtaking acrobatics, this went by so quickly and I enjoyed every minute of it.

extremely talented performers, excellent ambience in that tent. from a gymnastics perspective, this show was extremely impressive and i could feel the pain in my own core at points throughout the show. i have taken one star off because i didn’t really know what the story was about, nor was it revealed to me at any point in the show, something which i fear is common with a lot of physical theatre performances (aka i just don’t have the analysis skills to understand it)….something along the lines of connection and finding light in dark and unsuspecting spaces. it made me cry at times too. it was really great to see the performers have such a great rapport with each other (i think this is essential for the kinds of tricks they were performing). i loved that they each had their own acrobatics specialty and were given time to show off their individual skills amongst so many group tricks. acrobatics and circus at the fringe are very new to me so this show was a fantastic introduction and i strongly urge all who read this to go and see at least one acrobatics show soon, really fantastically done!!

Entertaining, totally absorbing and moving. It was a joy to watch this group of incredibly skilful artists and storytellers, and also to see the diversity of the performers. We loved the aerial work too.
I'd highly recommend it for adults and kids.

This has been a beautiful highlight of my fringe experience this week. It is witty, moving and genuinely uplifting.
The skills demonstrated are jaw-dropping and I really loved the support and trust between them.
The venue is great, too. Beautifully lit and with mirrors reflecting the performers, it is the perfect setting.
Honestly, just go.

This was both gripping and peaceful at the same time. The ensemble had brilliant chemistry as they performed impressive and stunning acrobatics. It truly did feel like a bit of warmth on a cold night.

A mesmerising show. It has left a mark on my memory bank. Your show deserves more attention.

4 Stars - This show contains some really really impressive feats that had my hands over my mouth in awe. The performers also had glowing smiles on their face the whole time, it was lovely to see them enjoying themselves. Where this show falls flat is the parts where it takes a bunch of time on the performers doing random things like stepping across things, spinning or lighting candles like I assume that was supposed to be meaningful or to tell a story but it didn't really do anything for me, I was much more interesting in the acrobatics.

Loved it. The lighting was amazing, the dance was elegant, the acrobatics graceful.
You could see they were pushing themselves right to the limit.

Breath taking, beautiful and inspiring- what a joy to see such consummate performers deliver one jaw dropping routine after another. You don’t need to know about dance, physical theatre or circus to know this show is special

This was a jaw dropping show, the sheer courage and skill of the performers was mesmerising. I was exhausted just watching as some of the moves must have been pushing the boundaries of what is humanly possible. Some parts of the show are very beautiful and moving - a love song in mime and an exquisite routine in a spinning ring. The strength, skill and athleticism of these performers deserves to be seen by as many people as possible...... just go, I'm sure you'll be as amazed as I was.

Beautiful show - the acrobatics were jaw-dropping but what really moved me was the warmth and trust between the performers which made you feel right there with them. Would love to see this group again!

Fantastic show. Very talented group. I was mesmerized from start to finish and the soundtrack really made it for me.
Annabelle Parker 34 days ago
It wasn't really what I expected, it was more of an interpretative dance and more of 80% contemporary dance and 20% impressive acrobatics

The soft lighting and candle flame lured into a calmness I'm not used to in physical shows. Them wham! I was holding my breath and afraid to disturb he acrobats to give well deserved applause until their feet were all safely on the ground.
