Presented by: Gravity & Other Myths

We are Gravity & Other Myths but our friends call us GOM. Adelaide born and bred, GOM’s work challenges new circus through conceptual sophistication and acrobatic virtuosity.

The past 12 years have seen GOM consolidate our meteoric introduction to the arts sector through steady growth, six critically acclaimed works and broad global success having toured to 40 countries with a collective attendance of over 750,000. During the past 18 months of travel restrictions, we based our ensemble of 30 in Adelaide where we we developed and premiered, The Pulse, the largest and most ambitious contemporary circus work in Australian history.

We apply an honest approach to performance, illuminating the complexities of humanity through genuine connections, humour and physical mastery.
