“MUST-SEE"

Montreal Gazette (Jim Burke), Montréal Dec 2016

“There are no wires needed for the eight acrobats of Réversible as they hurl themselves through the windows and doors of three constantly revolving house fronts with Buster Keaton-like aplomb.”

“Its combination of spectacular circus, appealing fresh-faced personalities, goodnatured comedy and bittersweet invoking of lost loved ones make for a healthy alternative to the traditional Christmas glitz and glitter.”

Claude Deschênes, Avenues (Canada), Dec 2016

"A finely tuned ballet. A good excuse to talk about your grandparents or your great-grandparents to your children."

Mélanie Vibrac, Sors-Tu (Canada), Dec 2016

"Breathtaking physical grace"
