Ten Thousand Hours – Gravity & Other Myths

The world’s second-leading contemporary circus company also hails from Australia and has been a guest at the festival on several occasions: Gravity & Other Myths—GOM for short—embodies its motto in its name and, with each new production, comes one step closer to realizing the dream of defying gravity. “Ten Thousand Hours” playfully reminds the audience that behind the breathtaking acrobatics lies not magic, but countless hours of hard work. The show is a tongue-in-cheek and perfectly choreographed ode to the long road to precision, offering inspiring glimpses into those ten thousand hours between rehearsal and perfection—until stumbling and wavering lead to success.
