“The ooh-ah factor is sky-high."
Limelight
Intoxicating. Imaginative. Incredible.
Experience summer circus at the house with internationally-acclaimed contemporary circus troupe, Gravity & Other Myths.
Bodies entwine, come together, and fall apart. Acrobats fly over each other, catch each other, push each other away, and pull one another close.
The acrobatic performance features LED walls, cameras and selfie sticks while award-winning composer and musician Ekrem Eli Phoenix sets the soundscape for gripping aerials and spine-tingling choreography.
Sydney Opera House presents in association with Gravity & Other Myths.
Commissioned by Sydney Opera House and Chamäleon Theatre Berlin.
