Wired & Free
“Enjoyed the show, which I thought had a distinctively Irish character. There were some great images, especially the rowing boat and the big mobile at the end.”
- Frank Wilson, Artistic Director, Stockton International Riverside Festival
“The show “Wired and Free” is an interesting mixture of contemporary circus, music, video and non-verbal theater. It also breeds strong relations with the audience so I see it as a good quality street art project, which not only changes a public space with putting a crane in the middle it totally changes the perception of the place where it is happening, attracting audiences into it. Although this was actually my first live experience of Irish contemporary circus, I can feel it is evolving and should become a recognized part of European diversity in this sector.. Fidget Feet is a professional company that can transfer its’ stories and messages to the audience in their best shape imaginable.”
- Ivan Kralj, Artistic Director, Festival Novog Cirkusa Croatia

A Fairies Tale
“On behalf of myself, my family and my friends, who watched the 2pm show today,it was absolutely fantastic. Being from a professional theatre background, I thought the show was brilliant, also it was great to see the park being used so well. It was great to give the children this opportunity to experience something so wonderful. The park, and Blyth itself could do with more of this kind of thing!”
