Australia's jaw-dropping contemporary circus company, Gravity & Other Myths, makes it Philadelphia debut with its acclaimed smash hit Ten Thousand Hours. Accompanied by live percussion, eight elite acrobats blend daring physicality with playful comedy in this ode to the time and dedication it takes to truly hone a skill. Each gravity-defying leap, hold and fall tells a story of discipline and discovery, offering “a raw display of phenomenal talent” and “incredible feats of strength and agility in a mesmerizing performance” (FringeReview). After a sold-out run at Edinburgh Festival Fringe with a host of five-star reviews, this “superhuman squad” (The Guardian) delivers a love letter to the human body—and the extraordinary things it can do.

“They’ve put in the hours, built up strength, extended their flexibility and now they’re ready to blow our minds.” (The Scotsman
