Ten Thousand Hours: Gravity & Other myths (Australia)
Everyone is a master of something.
Blinking, stepping, jumping, balancing, turning, flying.
This is an ode to the countless hours required to achieve greatness.
A tribute to the dedication it takes to realize our physical goals.
A celebration of the story behind the skill—often more spectacular than the final result.
Eight world-class acrobats explore physical abilities:
how we acquire them, how we refine them,
and how they can transform our lives.
By making the subtle nuances of high-level acrobatics visible,
the audience gains a new appreciation
for the countless hours behind the skills on display.
This is a love letter to our bodies
and to the remarkable things they enable us to do every day.
This is an invitation to watch us at work.

“Regular gasps and squeals of disbelief from the audience members behind me, and spontaneous applause from the audience throughout, reassure me that it is not just me who thinks some of the skills on display are unbelievable. This is an almost mind blowing level of skill on display and what can be achieved with a dedicated pursuit of perfection.”

We are a circus company with roots in Adelaide, Australia.
With an honest approach to performance, we create works that place a strong focus on human connection and acrobatic virtuosity. In doing so, we strive to develop an outstanding and diverse artistic program.
Since our founding in 2009 as a group of young artists from Adelaide with a passion for circus and physical theatre, we have continuously evolved, creating six critically acclaimed stage productions over the past 13 years.
Our work aims to strengthen human connection while also challenging the circus genre through conceptual sophistication and acrobatic virtuosity. We pursue an honest approach to performance, revealing the complexity of being human through authenticity, humor, and physical expression.
Our predominantly ensemble-based creative process encourages our artists to deeply engage with the work they embody, enabling genuine identification and a strong commitment to the company’s core values.
As one of the leading voices in contemporary circus in Australia, we see it as our responsibility to continually challenge and advance the art form of circus.
Currently there are no upcoming performances of this Program.
