The MIRROR
Sydney Opera House
9 Feb - 5 Mar, 2023
Gravity & Other Myths’ newest work, The Mirror, is the company’s most physically and conceptually ambitious challenge to date. Together with director Darcy Grant, the artists explore the idea of self-love and the value we place on our external vs. internal selves. The Mirror is both a nod to the extremes that people will go to please others and a reflection on the hidden parts of ourselves that make us unique.

The Pulse is a monolithic work of scale that unites audience, acrobat and choir into a single mesmerising organism. It’s raw, it’s real, it sings, it sweats – it pulsates.
Critically acclaimed all over the world, legendary circus and physical theatre company Gravity & Other Myths brings together all three of its core ensembles, plus a choir of thirty voices for The Pulse. The Helpmann-Award-winning creative team responsible for 2019’s Out of Chaos – director Darcy Grant, designer Geoff Cobham and composer Ekrem Eli Phoenix – reunite to extend and amplify the signature spirit of this unique company: visceral, poetic and heart-stopping feats of wonder.
