Synopsis

“This award-winning piece is never short of thrills. A total triumph.”
– The Guardian

“Cirque du Soleil with a fistful of grit.”
– UK Express ★★★★★

A single human body becomes a skipping rope. Handstands, climbs, flips, and twists, all atop towers of hands, shoulders and heads. Playful, good-natured one-upmanship.

Watch seven acrobats challenge the limits of the human body in a gravity-defying spectacle performed to the rhythm of a dynamic live drumbeat.

Since its premiere as part of the 2013 Adelaide Fringe Festival, A Simple Space has become an award-winning favourite, touring 34 countries and captivating more than 300,000 audience members worldwide.

Thrilling, frantic, visceral, and a little bit cheeky, this mesmerising stripped-down circus leaves behind the makeup, glittering costumes and elaborate circus rigs in favour of an intimate and interactive encounter with the audience. Up close, the troupe’s display of breathtaking power, high-energy athleticism and suspense is nothing short of delightful.

A Simple Space is an invitation to admire the extraordinary in its simplest form.

Gravity & Other Myths is supported as an organisation by Create SA. A Simple Space has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body. Gravity & Other Myths is supported as an organisation by the Sydney Myer Fund.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when a performance is cancelled or postponed?

When a show is cancelled, ticket buyers will be duly notified by the event organiser primarily via email. You may also be notified through the event organiser's authorised ticketing agent, media or any other applicable communication channels. Information will be provided on where and when you can get your refund. For postponed performances for which the date of the new performance is known, refunds are optional.

For free programmes, any cancellations or postponements will be updated on the event website and/or relevant official communication channels. As no tickets are issued, refunds do not apply.

What happens if it rains during the event?

Can I take photos or record a video during a performance?

For indoor performances, photography and video recording are generally not allowed during the show unless stated otherwise by the promoters or artists.

For performances at public spaces, such as those at the Concourse and DBS Foundation Outdoor Theatre, photography and casual video recording are generally allowed for personal use. Please be mindful not to use flash, obstruct others, or disrupt the performance. Some programmes may still restrict recording based on artist requirements, so please follow on-site announcements or staff instructions.

Do I have to purchase a ticket for my child

Can I eat or drink during the show?

Generally, food and drinks are not permitted inside the venue. It depends on the venue as well. For some shows, you may bring food and drinks purchased at the foyer bars at the Concert Hall or Theatre into the venues. For shows at the Annexe Studio, where there is a bar in the venue, eating or drinking is no issue.

For outdoor programmes, food and drinks are typically allowed unless otherwise stated. However, we encourage audiences to be mindful of the performance environment and dispose of waste responsibly. Restrictions may apply depending on the specific event setup, so please refer to the event listing for details.
