AND BY POPULAR DEMAND
Australian sensation GRAVITY & OTHER MYTHS are back with
A SIMPLE SPACE at TOHU, April 15th to 18th
Montréal, October 16 - After winning ”Best Circus” at the 2013 Adelaide Fringe Festival, the young
Australian troupe Gravity & Other Myths captured the hearts of critics and audiences in Montréal with
their sold out show A Simple Space at MONTRÉAL COMPLÈTEMENT CiRQUE in 2014. Their resounding
success is due to their absolutely incomparable gravity defying talent. The eight acrobats draw
spectators in with their technical gifts combined with mad frenzy, and a light-hearted mix of brute
strength, boldness and creative prowess. Every single detail in their production is about fun and
challenge. Flung around, piled up, walking upside down, becoming a human skipping rope, or involving
their audience, these Australians put on a daring show that pushes them to their acrobatic limits. It’s
bold and shamelessly talented, tongue-in-cheek, a tad extreme and utterly enthralling! Seriously
spectacular!

GRAVITY & OTHER MYTHS
Would you dare to laugh in the face of gravity? The eight acrobats of Australian company Gravity and
Other Myths would! Using nothing but brute force and feline agility to accomplish feats that are as
creative as they are perilous, these intrepid risk-takers keep the audience on the edge of their seats
throughout this intimate show, one in which the spectators are so close to the artists they actively
participate in their antics! Extreme.
Catch these acrobats with infectious energy scoff at gravity... before they fly away! At TOHU from
April 15 to 18.
