A new work from Australia’s leading physical theatre company tells the story of an Australian family – three Aboriginal kids from a small town – and how two choose to survive when one is lost.
When Ash loses his best friend Bear to suicide, he becomes obsessed with early 20th century circus star The Great Peters – AKA ‘’ – whose most famous trick saw him jump off bridges with a rope tied around his neck, and live. The Great Peters embodied both life and death, but in the end what he promises is impossible.
Based on an original work by Co-director Josh Bond’s, this daring and delicate show brings together Co-director Gavin Robins, writer/actor Ursula Yovich and some of Australia’s best artists to weave together text, aerial performance, and ambitious video design.
is a story about embracing life, told with humour, poignancy and death-defying stunts.
