C venues, C scala, 3  25 Aug 2016 (not 9, 16 & 23), 3pm (4pm)

Ockhams Razor return to the Fringe with their Mime Festival-headlining hit, a full length show with original equipment that transforms simple five-metre poles into a myriad of walkways, spindles, pillars and pendulums. Set in the round in a nod to traditional circus, audiences are drawn close to the action as the aerial artists balance, climb and cling to their teetering world. Poles are hung from the roof, balanced on fingertips, climbed, swung from and walked along.
