Heavenly Circus
The genius minds behind Heavenly Burlesque are back again for the Fringe and this time it's free. Gravity and other Myths is a spectacular outdoor new circus showcase inspired by the stars!
Vist Queen's Wharf at night this week and you see some of the country's best new circus, performing on a purpose-built outdoor circus rig, combined with pyrotechnics, spectacular lighting, sound and AV design.
I've been promised acts will use fire, trapeze, bungy, hula hoops, dance and object animation, all to the locally grown music of Rhian Sheehan, Module and more. This is proper circus people, not with evil clowns.
Plus here is your chance to run away with the circus in your lunchtime - Wellington Circus Trust are running introductory circus workshops at lunchtimes (12.30 – 1.30) on the days of the show performances.

and bring a cushion
i think i might have to go every single night now i know about "Gorecki" truly one of the all time beautiful songs. Obviously after "summertime" from porgy and bess.
I saw it last night, and can definitely recommend it. It starts rather slowly, but hang in there because it builds in intensity and spectacle.
"All to the locally grown music of Rhian Sheehan, Module and more."
And Aphex Twin, Royksopp and Lamb. One piece was beautifully choreographed to Lamb's "Gorecki", which is still one of my favourite songs ever.
But get there early and grab a seat if you can. Sitting on the pavers (even with a cushion) gets to be a pain, and since some of the work is earthbound, it's hard to see if you're sitting behind a bunch of others.
