“A genuinely jaw-dropping display of synchronicity and strength.” – Time Out, London
Sydney, Australia: Carriageworks is proud to present Gravity & Other Myths’ raw and exhilarating performance A Simple Space from 5-9 November.
Backed by the driving rhythm of a live percussionist, seven acrobats will push their physical limits again and again without reserve in an intimate and jaw-dropping display of strength, skill and creativity. Embracing a raw, energetic approach, A Simple Space focusses on exceptional skill, playful competitiveness, trust and friendship, stripping away the need for makeup, complex lighting and contrived theatrical overlay. The audience is brought in close to surround the performers. You can feel the heat, hear every breath, and be immersed in every moment.
The multi-award winning A Simple Space premiered at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2013 and has since toured to more than 35 countries, captivating audiences worldwide with its simultaneously raw, frantic and joyful movement. Described as “an awe-inspiring display of strength, skill and creativity” and “Cirque du Soleil with a fistful of grit,” A Simple Space evokes real responses in audiences, something visceral rather than cerebral.
A Simple Space forms part of Carriageworks’ newly introduced Carriageworks Moves program, which features a season of circus, dance and physical theatre works from October.
A Simple Space will be presented by Carriageworks and Gravity & Other Myths from 5-9 November.
