Physical theatre with 24 bodies and 26 voices.
Performed by Gravity & Other Myths, a company that routinely eludes earth’s forces and a euphoric symphony of strength, sinew, and song, it sends humans into the air and hearts into mouths.
One of Australia’s finest boundary-pushing, jaw-slackening circus company reveal their most ambitious show yet. Gravity & Other Myths’ The Pulse is packed to the brim with visceral, poetic and heart-stopping feats of strength and agility.
Watch as a mountain of bodies crumbles into an ocean of voice and towering human structures glide with precision through five kilometres of pulsing computer-controlled web, complete with reactive, intense lighting design and composer Ekrem Eli Phoenix’s soundtrack, made to mimic the beat of your (racing) pulse.
