One Fell Swoop Circus presents In Common as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival (Fringe Westside) 2023
Event update: tonight is cancelled due to weather. Starts tomorrow.
Giant outdoor sculptural circus work. Free across Melbourne during the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
In Common by One Fell Swoop Circus starts tomorrow at their second venue as part of Melbourne Fringe !
Head on down to Nicholson Street Mall, Footscray 12 - 15 October.
Wander through Footscray Mall and stumble upon an impossible structure built from steel and rope held aloft with floating, invisible tension. A thrilling new work by Melbourne’s own One Fell Swoop Circus, In Common sees the impossible tensegrity structure/sculpture brought to life by the company’s signature style of acrobatics – heartfelt, powerful, and intimate.
Virtuosic acrobatics and intricate choreography guide you through a visceral understanding of the care we owe others in our community and the safety nets we collectively weave.
An exploration of tension both structural and relational, In Common lets you experience the joy of throwing yourself into someone else’s arms and the warm weight of bearing them.
