Gravity & Other Myths
The Pulse
Australia | Spain
The rhythm of the heartbeat sets the pulse of our lives. It will also be the pulse of an extraordinary stage experience at the opening of La Strada 2023 at Graz Opera House. “The Pulse” combines 24 artists from the Australian company Gravity & Other Myths, 36 Catalan choral singers and the audience into one pulsating organism. With its moving music, sophisticated lighting and masterfully choreographed acrobatics, this multi-award-winning masterpiece of contemporary circus symbolises a seemingly impossible feat of collective strength in the eternal cycle of growth, blossoming and decay.
“Circus with a huge, throbbing heart and an authentic, earthy soul.”
