Instead of fine-tuning the performance with makeup, lighting and contrived theatrical overlay, the cast has deliberately gone the opposite way focusing on their exceptional skill, playful competitiveness, trust and friendship. The audience is brought in close to surround the performers. You can feel the heat, hear every breath, and be immersed in every moment. This honesty is the essence behind this piece which has been performed more than 1100 times in 37 countries so far.
Gravity & Other Myths is recognized as one of the most exciting circus ensembles in Australia, creating work that is highly physical, innovative and honest. The group is formed back in 2009. Their work strives to nurture human connection while challenging the genre of circus through conceptual sophistication and acrobatic virtuosity. Up till now, they have created 6 full evening productions, highly appreciated by critics and audience in Australia and all around the world.
This award-winning piece is never short of thrills. A total triumph.
