Reviews
Though Voler - Thieves of Flight has yet to receive many online reviews, it has been featured in the Kansas City Star and KCSTAGE blog.
- There's probably only one group in Kansas City that spends hours a week with yards of fabric, but never sews a single stitch. Voler (Thieves of Flight), a local aerial fabrics performance team, accented the Fringe Festival performances with a dazzling spectacle of athletic poise and grace. – Cory Streeter, Kansas City Star
- A great way to spend an hour and appreciate something unique to Kansas City. – ChaimEliyahu, KCSTAGE
