After years of touring their avant-garde circus company around the world, these knuckle dragging acrobats think they know right from wrong.

After indoctrinating their kids, they are taking the step out of their Australian back yard into Europe, then the rest of the world...one show at a time...

The revolution starts here!

THE COMPANY

acrobat is an ensemble of highly skilled physical performers, unique in their approach to theatre making.

The ensemble has a deep commitment to training and presenting their work at the highest possible skill level, without compromise. Each individual act is performed with precision within a deconstructed framework consisting of unrefined lights, sound and costuming. acrobat is quintessentially Australian and responds in its on way to our history of physical theatre and wry sense of humour. The company has been at the forefront of new forms of circus, based on their own practice and Russian training techniques

acrobat is an exception troupe, layering physical skills with multiple implications playing with our expectations and puncturing our complacency.
Hilary Crampton, The Age, 06

 

to make a long story short, smaller, poorer cheaper gives a new dimension to the old quote ‘less is more’. In that case, it’s even better. Essential.
Jeremy Bernede, Le Midi Libre, 07

Aussies, annoyingly, are often the best at everything, and it would be hard to find artists who are fitter, stronger, or indeed, more crazily daring than these.
Liz Arratoon, The Stage, 07
