Backbone examines the various perceptions of what strength is, where it comes from, and how it is measured. This frenetic celebration of human interconnectedness will test the limits of strength: physical, emotional, individual, and collective. It is set in the here and now. We won't be transporting the audience to Verona. We are on a stage. In a theatre. In front of them! Backbone is this amazing circus company's third work. Their last show A Simple Space achieved huge international success and has been performed more than 700 times at 98 festivals and theatres across 29 countries. "A glorious flow of action and reaction … The acrobatics are eloquent and sensational, full of original twists that spell out a new language." -⁠ The Advertiser, 5 Stars "Magnetic world premiere, a perfect combination of fluidity, mettle and danger …The sheer strength of body and character needed to round out this frenzied performance demonstrates a discipline and camaraderie, rarely seen on stage. Simply a joy to watch." -⁠ Limelight Magazine, 5 stars "The excitement of circus at its best combined with the grace and choreographic line of dance, and the magical undercurrents of good theatre." -⁠ The Sydney Morning Herald, 5 stars See new events on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxqKJcD5y33GNFEcVDXxjsw/video
