Seven acrobats. Thirty metres of rope. One unforgettable show.

Whether you’re drawn in by the grace of dance, the thrill of gymnastics, or the emotion of live theatre, By a Thread will leave you smiling, gasping, and cheering. With moments of awe, laughter, and surprise, it’s the perfect show for kids, teens, and adults alike.

We are all connected – so the Buddhists, new-agers and psychonauts tell us – but it’s easy to forget that when navigating the minutiae of daily life. By a Thread is a reminder from One Fell Swoop Circus. The simplicity of the set-up – just rope and pulleys – makes space for the incredible acrobatics. Melbourne’s contemporary circus troop get meta, exploring trust, and the physical, emotional and relational tensions that a group built on high risk thrives on – and that the rest of us can relate to more safely.
