Gravity & Other Myths – eight acrobats and one musician – 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. Set to a driving, dynamic, and intricate musical score using percussion/drums live on-stage, Ten Thousand Hours is a revelry of the distinct physical language that defines GOM and a celebration of the pursuit of mastery.
This is a love letter to our bodies and the amazing things they let us do every day, and an acknowledgement of the backstory that is often more spectacular than the finished product.
