SEVEN ACROBATS AND 30 METRES OF ROPE

Long spools of white rope run through pulley sheaves and wrap around
bodies, explicitly connecting the artists’ movements above and off the
ground. Like the booms and sheets of a sailing ship the performers are

hoisted and swung by one another to create striking tableaux and breath-
taking dynamics. The actions of one acrobat affect and implicate the

movements of others in a mesmerising negotiation of cause and effect.

By A Thread offers rich visuals of inventive aerial acrobatics from some of
Australia’s best circus artists. The relationships between ensemble
members on stage mimic the everyday relationships we have as human
beings. The acrobatic ensemble is the vehicle through which ideas of risk
and trust are explored, creating an intimate audience experience around
the dangers and joys implicit in engaging with others.

More than mere bodies in space, By A Thread is an exploration of
tensions physical, emotional and relational.
