媒体评论

无言的小丑表演配合着空气动力景象，你会感觉自己踏入了如同童年那般美好的梦幻世界，暂时远离现实的规则（包括重力）……从头至尾的欢乐，《空气动力秀》不仅适合儿童观看，还能给那些压力大的成人重新打开的方式 ——《悉尼先驱晨报》

 

《空气动力秀》的主要道具之一 “气球”（其中一个大到可以让人消失于其中），长长的闪电般的透明飞布，它们是如此的精致、纤巧，像空气一样轻盈。你似乎是在见证一场神圣的自然之创造，而不是在看一部精心制作的新马戏表演 ——《美国哈特福德新闻报》

 

舞台大幕开启，我看到一个男人拿着一片巨大的轻质布料，伴随着周围一圈风扇创造的气流，在空中起舞。奇迹慢慢展露，我突然感觉自己重新变成了孩子，感知《空气动力秀》每一个神奇的时刻 ——《青年剧院》

 

 

《空气动力秀》是一首献给童年的、视觉化的诗

我们说得越少，你看到的就越多

邀请你来遇见自己的故事

—塞斯 & 克里斯蒂娜

About the show

Flying umbrellas, larger-than-life balloons, giant kites floating over the audience, and the biggest snow globe you’ve ever seen will make you gasp in wonder and laugh until it hurts.

 

Ride the wind and dream with Air Play, a modern spectacle that brings to life the very air we breathe. Air Play is a circus-style adventure of two siblings journeying through a surreal land of air, transforming the ordinary into objects of uncommon beauty. Fabrics dance in the wind, balloons have a mind of their own, confetti turns into the night sky, and an enormous canopy of hovering silk forever alters their future.

 

Air Play is an innovative and spectacular new show for audiences of all ages created by Seth Bloom and Christina Gelsone, the world famous Acrobuffos comedic duo from New York City. Air Play plays big and successfully merges the high-flying art of Daniel Wurtzel’s ground-breaking air sculptures with the Acrobuffos crowd-pleasing comedy. Daniel Wurtzel is best known for his kinetic sculptures and installations using air and lightweight material that fly. His paper tornado was center stage at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony in front of a worldwide audience. The colour palate and themes of the show are inspired by the paintings of Joan Miro and Wassily Kandinsky. All the elements contribute to colorful and dreamy imageries with warm and touching ambience. With visual images seemingly sewn from the sky, this poetic ode to childhood will enchant and electrify the young and young at heart.

 

Press

“From the minute the curtain goes up on this buoyant fusion of wordless clowning and aerial spectacle, you feel as if you’ve stepped into an enchanted world somewhere between childhood and what comes afterwards, where normal rules (gravity included) have been temporarily held at bay. … A joy from start to finish, Air Play will entrance children, and will act as a great reset button for stressed adults.” Sydney Morning Herald

“...the main props of “Air Play” — balloons (including ones so large that the clowns could disappear inside them), long bolts of translucent cloth, ... are so delicate, so fragile, so light as air. You feel you're witnessing divine natural occurrences rather than carefully devised circus stunts. ” Hartford Courant

 

“The curtains open and we see a man holding on to a huge piece of light fabric, dancing in the air, moved by a circle of fans. The wonder begins and I suddenly feel like a child again, receptive to every single magical moment in Air Play.” A Younger Theatre

 

Air Play is our visual poem to childhood.

The less we say, the more you see.

We invite you to find your own story.

-Seth and Christina
