Ten Thousand Hours

Gravity knows no bounds when this Australian circus company takes the stage. Eight acrobats jump, balance, flip and fly in an ode to the countless hours needed to achieve great things.

Set to a driving, dynamic and intricately layered score performed live on stage with percussion and drums, this jaw-dropping performance will leave you in sheer wonder. Ten Thousand Hours revels in a distinct physical language, celebrating not only astonishing athleticism but the relentless pursuit of mastery that makes it possible.
