The Mirror - Gravity and Other Myths

A high-level acrobatic spectacle by Gravity and Other Myths that playfully explores what entertainment, authenticity, and self-image mean in a world full of permanent self-presentation, using LED screens, cameras, and selfie sticks. Het Australische circus company Gravity & Other Myths always guarantees an ambitious acrobatic spectacle. It is contemporary circus and entertainment of a high level. For their new performance The Mirror, entertainment is also the central theme. They ask the question of what contemporary humans experience as entertaining. What do we want to show the world and is that something others want to see? What does authenticity mean, especially in an era of ubiquitous screens and permanent self-presentation? In the decor of an LED wall and armed with cameras and selfie sticks, the artists playfully search for their true selves.
