FLYING FRUIT FLY CIRCUS ANNOUNCES GRAVITY AND OTHER MYTHS WILL BE IN RESIDENCE THIS JULY
Publicity Content/Entertainment Posted 28 June,2026
Flying Fruit Fly Circus is thrilled to announce that Gravity and Other Myths (GOM) will be in residence in Albury-Wodonga from July to September 2026, an extraordinary coming-
together of two of Australia's most distinctive circus companies.
GOM artists will join the Flying Fruit Fly Circus training team this winter, sharing their creative practice with the Fruit Fly ensemble. In addition, GOM founding member and
creative director Lachlan Binns will direct the entire ensemble in a brand-new work, Vanishing Point, performing at the Borderville Theatre from 31 August to 6 September.
Gravity and Other Myths are among the most celebrated performing arts companies Australia has produced. Having toured to more than 40 countries and won major
international awards, they have redefined what contemporary circus can be. In perfect timing, directly before coming to Albury, GOM will perform the Australian premiere of their
new show LOUDER at Sydney Opera House from 25 – 28 June, the week before the Flying Fruit Fly Circus performs Pay No Attention at Sydney Opera House, 1 – 11 July.
The connection between the two companies runs deep. GOM is now led by Darcy Grant, himself a Flying Fruit Fly Circus alumnus, and the company's ensemble has featured a
remarkable roll call of Fruit Fly graduates, including Simon McClure, Jack Manson and Shani
Stephens. Lachlan Binns own story echoes this: he began circus as a child at Adelaides Cirkidz, the same youth circus pathway that has shaped so many of GOM's artists.
This residency feels less like a new partnership and more like a homecoming.
;Gravity and Other Myths are one of Australia’ss most celebrated contemporary circus companies," says Anni Davey, Artistic Director of Flying Fruit Fly Circus. & We are so proud
that the company is led by Fruit Fly alumnus Darcy Grant, and their ensemble has featured some of our incredible graduates over the last decade. As soon as we were aware that GOM
had a break in their busy tour schedule, we pounced – to see if we could bring their artists to Albury to work with our young people, the next generation of contemporary circus artists.
Flying Fruit Fly Circus is Australia’s national youth circus and the country’s only full-time circus school, with a training team widely regarded to be one of the nation’s best. For
emerging circus artists, being shaped by many different voices, styles and creative approaches is invaluable, and having GOM’s artists join with the Fruit Fly trainers to work
directly with the ensemble will bring a new creative perspective into the room, one that will leave its mark on every young artist in the building.
