Ten Thousand Hours
The local legends behind Fringe hit, A Simple Space, return with a new work.
Ten Thousand Hours is a celebration of the pursuit of mastery.
Eight elite acrobats investigate physical skill; how we obtain it, how we perfect it, and how it can transform our lives. Through highlighting the nuance of high level acrobatics, audiences experience a heightened appreciation of the countless hours required to master the skills they are witnessing.
The work is a revelry of the distinct physical language that defines Gravity & Other Myths.
It is a tribute to the dedication required to become a world class acrobat.
An ode to time, sweat, and sacrifices.
A love letter to our bodies.
An invitation to watch us work.
