Jugglers Martin Mor and Logy Logan are natural comedians, experts in audience engagement and the art of having a good time. Circus Sonas: Down With Gravity is the tonic you didn’t know you needed. This show is for children, and for your inner child. Here, joy abounds, indiscriminate and ageless.With flushed cheeks and broad smiles, the double-act embarks on a series of “indoor and outdoor” stunts. A yo-yo increases in size, while an axe introduces an element of danger. Luck is on their side, it seems. The pair increase the difficulty of their routines, but still the juggling balls fall where they’re aimed. “Do you want a fancy trick, an easy trick, or a hard trick?” they ask, exchanging their clubs for cigar boxes, their cigar boxes for knives.The two are forever competing with one another, and this creates numerous opportunities for comedy. One stand-out moment sees Mor soothe a crying baby with Mongolian throat singing (apparently, parents, it is as easy as that), but Logan’s magnanimity means that balance is always restored. True to its title, their show is sure to have you buoyed up, feeling brighter and lighter, than before. Josephine Balfour-Oatts Click Here For Review
