Backbone examines the various perceptions of what strength is, where it comes from, and how it is measured, through circus arts. This frenetic celebration of human interconnectedness will test the limits of strength: physical, emotional, individual, and collective. As a leader of contemporary circus in Australia, Gravity & Other Myths’ work strives to nurture human connection while challenging the genre of circus through conceptual sophistication and acrobatic virtuosity. The company employs an honest approach to performance, illuminating the complexities of humanity through genuineness, humor, and physical prowess. Enjoy this New York premiere and spectacle for all ages!
