Ten Thousand Hours

Eight acrobats compress 10,000 hours of practice into 60 minutes you’ll never forget. 

A live drummer keeps the beat and a huge digital clock flashes as the troupe partake in a joyful game of human jenga. Bodies upon bodies. Springing from one pair of shoulders to another. Jump. Spin. Drop. Gasp!

An ode to the countless hours needed to achieve great things. A gravity-defying event for families or groups of friends – for everyone. With moments of playful audience interaction, no two shows and their jaw-dropping moments are quite the same.

From Adelaide, Australia, Gravity & Other Myths have a global reputation for world-class circus shows that place performers and their stories at the heart of the action.
