Gravity & Other Myths

Gravity & Other Myths (GOM) is an acclaimed contemporary circus company from Adelaide, Australia, co‑founded in 2009 by a tight-knit ensemble forged through the Australian Cirkidz program. Renowned for pushing the boundaries of circus, GOM has crafted six major works-A Simple Space, Backbone, Out of Chaos..., The Pulse, MACRO, and Ten Thousand Hours-that have toured to over 34 countries, captivated more than 700,000 people, and earned multiple Helpmann and Ruby awards. Distinguished by their raw, honest performance style, GOM highlights the visible effort of acrobatics, blending physical virtuosity with playful humour and genuine audience connection. Ensemble‑driven and self‑produced, the company charts every stage of creation-from conception to production-imbuing their work with authenticity and collective ownership. With two full-time casts now in operation, GOM is expanding its reach and actively seeking opportunities to share its bold, human-centred performance with more audiences across Australia.
