Gravity and Other Myths

Gravity and Other Myths is an acclaimed Australian contemporary circus company, renowned for its unique approach that blends acrobatics with theatrical storytelling. The company was founded in 2009 in Adelaide, South Australia, and quickly gained recognition for its innovative performances that emphasize human connection and extraordinary physical feats. One of their signature shows, 'A Simple Space,' challenges traditional circus norms by bringing performers and audiences closer together, often with the audience seated directly on stage. Gravity and Other Myths has toured internationally, earning accolades and winning prestigious awards, such as the Total Theatre Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Their performances are celebrated for their raw, stripped-back style, focusing on human strength, vulnerability, and the limits of physical endurance, which continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
