SOME real high flyers hit Ardross later this evening for a show exploring our fascination with heroes and celebrity culture.

All or Nothing Aerial Dance Theatre and Room 2 Manoeuvre, two Edinburgh-based dance companies, teamed up for the light-hearted new touring show for all the family.

Heroes, at Ardross Hall this evening, reveals the humorous journey of two performers, Tony Mills and Beverley Grant, as they navigate their way through the unforgiving world of idols, superheroes and celebrity culture.

The show delves deep into the worlds of idols and idolisation, celebrity and celebrity culture and heroes and superheroes, investigating what characterises a celebrity, who society’s hidden superheroes really are and why we are compelled to idolise them.

Asking some profound universal questions with humour, straight talking and lots of graceful, intense and symbolic aerial and circus movement, the performers examine what it really means to be labelled a celebrity, why some will stop at nothing to achieve it; and the process of being thrust into the spotlight and the dramatic and ruthless fall from grace that often results.

The show takes place at 7.30pm at Ardross Community Hall. Box office 01349 880591.
