COLOURS International Dance Festival // Gravity & Other Myths: Ten Thousand Hours

In the organizer's words:

German premiere

Gravity is nothing but a fairy tale when these Australians take off into the air. They fly, balance, climb and carry several colleagues on their shoulders. The acrobats from "Gravity & Other Myths" celebrate how many hours of hard work go into this lightness in their new show. It is a hymn to the perseverance and dedication we all need to create something great. Without any glitzy costumes, this new circus shows the people behind the sensations, the risks behind all the mastery. With a great deal of humor, eight movement artists test their physical capabilities to the limit, build towers of four or five human floors and catch each other again to fast-paced live percussion. In their shared love of artistry - because all this is only possible if you can rely on each other blindly - they demonstrate the amazing things our bodies can achieve.

Duration: approx. 60 minutes without intermission
Age recommendation: from 6 years

At the end of the evening, you will either be glued to your seat in utter amazement or jumping to your feet in a standing ovation. - Fringe Review

Straightforward, direct and perfectly paced, "Ten Thousand Hours" is a family show that never indulges in childishness and instead awakens the feeling of an astonished child in us. - Fest Magazine

Get ready for human jump ropes, aerial jumps over columns of people, bodies as helicopters, flips and spins to perfection, interwoven with elements of contemporary dance and breakdancing. - Glam Adelaide
