A Simple Space: ONE DANCE WEEK 2019

A Simple Space (18 and 19! October)

A contemporary circus piece is coming from Australia to premiere on the Bulgarian stage as part of ONE DANCE WEEK 2019. A SIMPLE SPACE by Gravity & Other Myths is an extreme demonstration of strength and skills by acrobats that will fly over your heads. Hang on because it's all for real. There’s no safety net or ropes. There is no technical assistance. The stage is a stripped back circus arena and a spaceport for breathtaking launches for artists who consider gravity a myth. In this raw and delicate performance, the audience will feel the thrill of risk and see every electrical impulse in the acrobats' bodies.

The performance will take place at the Boris Hristov House of Culture on 18 and 19! October 2019, at 20:00. Facebook event HERE. Tickets online HERE.

THE COMPANY
Gravity & Other Myths (GOM) is a multi-award winning and well respected Australian acrobatics ensemble. The company creates engaging works of acrobatic art for touring, festivals and corporate clients. Formed in 2009 in Adelaide, South Australia, the ensemble creates and directs their own work with emphasis on an honest approach to performance, moving away from traditional circus and theatre models, towards a fusion of acrobatic physical theatre.

The company’s first work Freefall toured extensively across regional and metropolitan Australia since its conception in 2009, receiving rave reviews and winning multiple awards including; Best Circus at the 2010 Adelaide Fringe, Tour Ready at the 2011 Adelaide Fringe and both Best Circus and Best Emerging Circus/Physical Theatre Performer at the 2011 Melbourne Fringe. Freefall was nominated for Pick of the Fringe at the 2013 Adelaide Fringe.

The company’s second work A Simple Space premiered with short formats at Adelaide Fringe 2013 and Edinburgh Fringe 2013. A low-fi but high skill production, A Simple Space is a worldwide sensation that leaves audiences standing and formidable string of 5-star reviews in its wake. A Simple Space has toured to 14 countries on six continents, wowing audiences with a universal physical language and joyful energy.
