One Fell Swoop CircusProfessional company

60 minutesCentral
Seven acrobats and thirty metres of rope... Long spools of white rope run through pulley sheaves and wrap around bodies, connecting the artists' movements above and off the ground. By a Thread weaves virtuosic acrobatics and intricate choreography through moments of confusion, hilarity, romance, playfulness, fear and friendship, uncovering the threads of connection present in all relationships. Australian circus at its best, By a Thread is an exploration of tensions physical, emotional and relational. 'An exquisitely choreographed human poem' (InDaily.com.au). 'An intricate and mesmerising piece of art' (ArtsHub.com.au). 'Intoxicating to witness' (StageWhispers.com.au).
