Backbone
Gravity & Other Myths
Australia
Backbone (literally) tosses around the perception of what strength is, where it comes from and how it is measured. This frenetic celebration of human interconnectedness tests the limits of strength: physical, emotional, individual and collective.
Backbone is this amazing circus company’s third work. Their last show A Simple Space has achieved huge international success and has been performed more than 1.000 times across 37 countries.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government’s Major Festivals Initiative in association with the Confederation of Australian International Arts Festivals Inc., Adelaide Festival, Sydney Festival & Melbourne Festival

CREDITS
PRAISE FOR
Backbone
"The performers' agility and stamina is beyond impressive. The trust they must have in each other and their absolute focus and understanding of limits is nothing short of spectacular. This is a new kind of circus."
The Barefoot Review
"Circus as you've never seen it before, pushed to its conceptual and cerebral limits. A genre-defying, thought-provoking, visual extravaganza ... so intensely beautiful it makes you proud to be human."
InDaily
"The excitement of circus at its best combined with the grace and choreographic line of dance, and the magical undercurrents of good theatre."
The Sydney Morning Herald
