One Beautiful Thing – Circa
Australia's renowned circus company joins forces with Indian artists who specialise in the traditional sport of Mallakhamb.
Overview
One of Australia's most in-demand circus companies is joining forces with musicians and acrobats from India for an explosive new show at the Arts Centre Melbourne.
On stage for just three nights plus a Sunday matinee, One Beautiful Thing will see the acclaimed team at Circa work with artists who specialise in Mallakhamb, a traditional sport that dates back hundreds of years and combines pole and rope work with stunning displays of gymnastic prowess. The practice had all but died out, before a group of dedicated performers committed themselves to ensuring its survival.
The epic collaboration, which is part of this year's Asia TOPA festival, aims to bring Indian and Australian culture 'face-to-face', showcasing our differences and similarities as artists from disparate backgrounds strive to create 'one beautiful thing'.
