Showing @ Gilded Balloon Teviot 31 Jul-26 Aug (not 10,11,22), 13.30
There are points in A Simple Space where the only audible noise over the live music is the sound of the performers gasping for breath after some herculanean exertion. Audience members (especially those in the front row) may find themselves doing the same thing when this show draws to a close. For both punters and artists, this performance is literally breathtaking, and it’s made all the more impressive by the intimate scale, where acrobats tower above the audience and tumble at their feet.
New and exciting things are happening in the world of circus, and Gravity and Other Myths would appear to be at the forefront of this movement. Like last year’s success story Casus, these are daredevil feats with the confetti and sequins stripped away leaving nothing in their place but sheer talent and truly astonishing skill.
