Gravity & Other Myths premiered their latest work Out Of Chaos at the Adelaide Festival Feb 2019 to rave reviews and standing ovations. It is the 2nd GOM show directed by Darcy Grant (Circa, Fruities) assisted by GOM founding members Lachlan Binns and Jascha Boyce with a bunch of new faces onstage and keeps pushing the company to fresh heights both physically and artistically.
The show next heads off to an extended run in Berlin at the CHAMÄLEON Theater from August 2019 til February 2020.
I thought I’d give you a glimpse of the show through the Carnival Cinema lens (and check out the video Trailer below) you can also check out a behind the scenes photo Gallery on CC – HERE.
Heres a description of the show from the GOM website –
Out Of Chaos… is our boldest and most ambitious work yet.
Hard-edged, throbbing, explosive acrobatics that reference birth, death and primordial physics collide with intimate verbal confessions and insights into what it feels like to be on stage in real time… Complete with sweaty armpits.
By exposing the inner workings of the world-class acrobat we unveil the magic that is Gravity and Other Myths most precious commodity; the genuine human connection between each other and our audience.
At its conceptual center, it is a story of how things come together. People, planets and plans. Audience, performer, sound and light. The thoughts that shape us and in turn define how we make sense of our inner and outer worlds.
The piece moves with agility between chaotic creation stories and our seemingly ordered understanding of the here and now, all the while hinting at the strange space between knowing and contemplating our mortal significance.
We look forward to sharing our thoughts with you.
