This blend of contemporary dance and physical theatre explores themes of powerlessness in personal and political relationships but it is not, sadly, very powerful.

There are moments when the undoubtedly talented collective hit the spot, such as the eerie beginning when you hear their synchronised rock before the lights came up for you to see it.

There is a moving sequence when five of the acrobatic dancers impersonate a gang in pursuit of the other and the fabulous string quartet's French Baroque music is a stark and effective contrast to the industrial-looking set.

But overall, the show feels like an actor's class where performers improvise various moves and no-one gets around to picking out the good, chucking away the bad and polishing the raw material into a performance which actually hangs together.

We got that the performers were quivering with fear the first time and really don't need to be confronted with prolonged quivers time and time again.

There is often so much going on at once you give up trying to look anywhere and, unfortunately, the pointless bits outweighed the jaw-dropping bits and the show went on for about an hour too long.
