Experience
PowerTrack / Wall


This act features some 20 artists running, jumping, and walking across – and straight up – an 8m vertical wall without artificial support. Power track and trampolines give them the speed, lift and momentum to take flight. Their athletic ability, physical strength and team coordination take care of the rest.

The last remaining scrim is then removed from the stage revealing an enormous wall and trampoline. The crickets, which we've seen hopping about at various times during the show, finally get to shine here, bouncing and tumbling about, while other insects take part by using the wall. The ants, for example, can be seen crawling along in a perfect line, just like typical ants. Unfortunately the wall is overused and the power track and trampoline completely underutilized. The entire act is performed with an enormous amount of (obviously) pent-up energy on the grasshopper's parts; however, the techno-pop music and abhorrent staging deflate any excitement generated by this number's reveal.
