After their exhilarating, world renowned touring show By A Thread, One Fell Swoop Circus are coming to Bondi for the first time with their new, breathtaking work, In Common.

Crackling with tension and wonder, using what seems an 'impossible' structure, where floating beams hold together by tension alone, six daring acrobats balance, fly and catch one another in heart-stopping feats of strength and trust.

With intricate choreography and virtuosic skill, the ensemble transforms physical forces into human stories: the precarious joy of throwing yourself into someone’s arms; the strength of bearing another’s weight; the shared balance that keeps the whole from toppling. Every lift, every leap, every hand extended reminds us of the invisible safety nets we build in our own lives – the care, trust and responsibility that hold communities together.

More than spectacle, In Common is a vivid reminder of the invisible safety nets we weave together as communities and what we can achieve when we work together in common – playful, powerful and moving.
