Long spools of white rope run through pulley sheaves and wrap around bodies, explicitly connecting the artists’ movements above the ground. The actions of one acrobat affect and implicate the movements of others in a mesmerising negotiation of cause and effect.

Circus necessarily develops high levels of trust and communication within ensembles. By a Thread was created to bring a new dimension to these acrobatic relationships, and the parallels they draw to our everyday interactions. Virtuosic acrobatics and intricate choreography weave through moments of confusion, hilarity, romance, playfulness, fear and friendship.

Pre-show entertainment: 6:30pm in foyer, free nibbles and drinks at bar prices.
