"One of the finest short dance pieces I have seen for some time. From simple ingredients, it creates an intensely moving experience"
- 
Richard Ings, Arts Council England, by email
"[...]an excellent piece of theatre.
It captured the heart of my whole family, we had to watch it twice.
I have been recommending it to others as a ‘must see’...altogether hooked.
​The two performers develop an exquisite relationship between them with tremendous emotional reach." 

- Sally Manser, Royal Opera House, by email

“You blew me away today…Beautiful, hypnotic and moving. Brilliant piece of performance #highlight” 
​- Emma Purvis, Secret Productions, on Twitter

“(Frantic's) antihero is trapped in a prison of his own making, a cell where he attempts to conquer time... a neatly put together piece in which acrobatics become a metaphor for finding the balance in life.” 

​- Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

​“Fantastic & moving #Frantic by @Acrojou - crazy good!” 

​- Andrew Ellerby, Arts Council England, on Twitter

​"I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful show 'Frantic' is.
I saw my life in the performance and it made me cry.
It also made me resolve to make changes. So poignant and moving.
​Thank you. Great art."

“I've seen Frantic 2 weeks ago in London [at] Greenwich-Docklands festival.
It was the highlight of my 12 days London trip. Actually, it was more than this to me.
I am a 37 years old professional illustrator/animator, an art lover. Except theatre/performance shows.
I always find theatre and performances too contrived and cant, I am sorry.
But Frantic changed something. I've never been so impressed with any live event for all my life.
I cried in Greenwich watching Barney and Myrto. My congratulations to all of you.”

“The best thing I have seen at the festival by far - I was moved to tears!
My children (age 6, 3 and 1) were also completely transported. We forgot where we were.
​It reminded me what love feels like.”

"A story, partly comedy but also so touching that it has moved audiences to tears.”
​- 
The Times
“Acrobatic virtuosity combined with poetic design." 
- 
City Mouse Magazine, Israel
"Aerial feats and breath-taking acrobatic tricks.”
​- ABC News, USA
"The Wheel House had (tears) running down my cheeks with its tender post-apocalyptic love-story...
As touching as it is ingenious, as thought-provoking as it is visually intriguing.
​Acrojou remind us to appreciate simple treasures."

Review by Kate Kavanagh, ‘The Circus Diaries’
“Circus stretches the imagination, takes you on flights of fantasy and delivers memorable experiences.
The brilliant Acrojou ticked all these boxes when they performed The Wheel House”

“(The performers) were amazing, I have to say, and I am sure that nothing like this has been seen in Worthing before.”

​“Stunning performance of The Wheel House this afternoon - beautiful and tender, and so very skilled”
​- 
Kay Hall, Acrojou Facebook page
“Wonderful, wonderful performance at the Whitstable Harbour today for Whitstable Oyster Festival - just mesmerising!
​ Just an incredible journey! Loved every moment of it.”
​- 
Jane Bowell, by email
“By far the BEST of anything at the whole festival. We were spellbound – watched it twice and have never seen anything so clever and unique. Words can’t adequately describe it.”
​-
Liz, Freedom Festival, by email

​“Just wanted to say it was beautiful, one of the best performances I've ever seen. I've never really thought I liked dance/acrobatic stuff, but watching the four performers yesterday really moved me. I couldn't believe how much drama, beauty and comedy could be wrung from so little - and the amount of faith you must have in yourselves, each other and your equipment was amazing to watch. One of those things that makes you wish you'd made different decisions in life, and broadens your horizons! Plus my two boys loved it.”
