The Mirror: the company’s most physically and conceptually ambitious challenge to date.

What do we want to show the world and is it something that others want to see? What does authenticity mean, especially in the age of screens everywhere and permanent self-presentation?

Through the language of contemporary circus the artitsts explore the concept of entertainment, meanwhile questioning what the modern human finds enjoyable. The high-level acrobatics in the piece are offset by an innovative contemporary design.

Full of expression and playfulness, the artists of Gravity & Other Myths are accompanied by the remarkable electronic music and pop mash-ups of musician Ekrem Eli Phoenix.

Together, they set out on a search for the ‘true’ self.
