The "old fashioned" in the show was illustrated by stage illusions, contortionists, freaks on the tight wire and the elegance of the aerial act
Opposing this were break-dancers and body poppers who invaded the stage, danced on a huge technics deck, and brought a different kind of music to the forefront of the arena. The urban element challenged the old-skool circus freak family, eventually dragging them into the new millennium.
Running Away was full of twists and turns, performers literally appearing and disappearing all over the place, and had a central love story up high in the top of the tent. Not forgetting chav clowns causing havoc across the two worlds.
The action was set to a musical score that took classical elements of traditional circus and fairground music and mixed it with new skool beats.
