Sydney Festival Artistic Director, Wesley Enoch was joined by Creative Lead of Gravity & Other Myths Darcy Grant to chat about his upcoming show, The Pulse. 

Darcy Grant is a classically trained acrobat, award-winning fine art photographer, physical theatre director and founding member of Circa, revered as one of the world’s most adventurous, genre-defying circuses. He has trained, taught and toured work on the cutting edge of new circus to some of the world’s most prestigious venues. Where theatre, dance, circus and visual art meet is where Darcy likes to practice. In 2017 Darcy was commissioned by Adelaide International Arts Festival to direct Backbone by Gravity & Other Myths. The show premiered to five-star reviews and standing ovations, also attracting three Helpmann Award nominations including Best Choreography and Best New Australian Work. 

Due to the current South Australian border restrictions, Gravity & Other Myths has had to cancel their world premiere season of The Pulse at Sydney Festival 2021. Adelaide Festival will be premiering The Pulse in February 2021. For details head here: https://www.adelaidefestival.com.au/events/the-pulse
