Synopsis: The show focuses on movement; it includes a man running full throttle through a series of moving walls, individuals racing to connect from opposite sides of a whirling sail, and performers frolicking and interacting in a watery world suspended just above the audience.
NEW YORK TIMES:
"Patrons are not required to think, feel or even sit down for this hourlong sensory bath at the Daryl Roth Theater. Standing and gaping are all that is strictly necessary, although jumping up and down and dancing are intermittently encouraged."

But as it opened last night at the Daryl Roth Theatre — as a $70 night at the theater — it's unsatisfying: an undercooked, smallish portion of "Cirque du Soleil."
