The darkened stage contains little but a white telephone upon a table. It rings. Young dancers, clad in harlequin-style outfits race to answer it, reminding us of the time that was commonplace in our homes. It becomes a dance of calling, answering and connecting, setting the scene for what is to come.

The young Taiwanese acrobats of “Keep in Touch” twist, contort and interact with each other, the table and the phone. Their movements and poses become extensions of the phone – a coil, a handset, a base. It’s a visceral and uplifting start to the show, appealing to all ages in the audience, from young to old.

What follows is a series of sight gags and audience interaction that involves an audience member. A simple apple becomes a symbol of much more, and there is an element of juggling magic. The costumes vary from plain white jumpsuits to more colourful outfits.

Red silk ribbons are the main prop for one acrobat as she climbs, twists, twirls and dramatically drops from heights. All while a pumping soundtrack keeps the tempo up and a hazy red light keeps the atmosphere exotic.

The finale consists of two of the male acrobats manipulating a large curved staircase-style see-saw. It rocks precariously up and down while the acrobats clamber, climb and shimmy over it. It gains momentum as the other figures join in. It becomes a game between the monolithic contraption and the lithe and agile acrobats. with strak lighting and a driving score, the effect is mesmerising. A fitting end to an engaging show.

The young acrobats are all very personal and friendly and are a delight to watch as they perform feats of acrobatic excellence.
