Playbook | Gravity and other Myths | Ruhrfestspiele 2025

Last year, they opened the Ruhrfestspiele with their spectacular work "The Pulse", ensuring a repeatedly sold-out Großes Haus and euphoric enthusiasm. This year, the Australian company Gravity & Other Myths is coming to Recklinghausen to acrobatically explore very different places in the city. "Playbook" transforms the urban space into an acrobatic playground. They form human towers, lift each other up to heights, fall and catch each other again. This time, the spectacular acrobatics do not take place on a theater stage or in a circus tent, but in the places where people go about their daily business, in city squares, in front of familiar building facades, on familiar everyday routes. In this way, "Playbook" takes us out of our usual rut and into a world full of thrills. The powerful physical interactions of the eight artists create a captivating atmosphere that involves the audience in the action and creates a shared dynamic. Accompanied by an electronic soundscape that combines intimate and spectacular moments of acrobatics, "Playbook" becomes a captivating experience, a celebration of life in motion and the people who accompany us on this journey. Immerse yourself in this immersive spectacle and be enchanted once again by the magic of Gravity & Other Myths!
