FAC Season 2023: By a Thread

Seven acrobats and 30 metres of rope... By A Thread offers rich visuals of inventive aerial acrobatics from some of Australia’s best circus artists.

★★★★★ "This is a work of art - if I could give it six stars, I would" - The Advertiser

Event Description

An ensemble circus creation featuring seven acrobats and 30 metres of rope, By A Thread offers rich visuals of inventive aerial acrobatics from some of Australia’s best circus artists.

Long spools of white rope run through pulley sheaves and wrap around bodies, explicitly connecting the artists’ movements above and off the ground. The actions of one acrobat affect and implicate the movements of others in a mesmerising negotiation of cause and effect. 

By a Thread weaves acrobatics and intricate choreography through moments of confusion, hilarity, romance, playfulness, fear and friendship, uncovering the threads of connection present in all relationships. 

More than mere bodies in space, By a Thread is an exploration of tensions physical, emotional and relational.
