“Beautiful” (The Herald Scotland), “a marvel to watch” (The List), and “poetry in motion” (The Times) are just some of the phrases used to describe Humans, performing in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival at the Underbelly Circus Hub until 26 August.
Premiering in Sydney earlier this year, Humans has since performed in Italy, Belgium and in the UK at Glastonbury Festival and a three-week long engagement at Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Approaching the end of the run, we wanted to share some of our favourite moments.
