Absolute Pearl

This Melbourne-based performing arts company delivers a captivating blend of theatre, dance, and circus performance, highlighted by a unique elevated medium that elevates their act above the rest. The five-meter sway poles create a grand visual spectacle that can engage audiences numbering in the thousands, yet remain intimate and accessible.

Inspired by the sway of wheat fields in the breeze, these poles boast extreme strength and flexibility, allowing performers to achieve impossible angles, swaying back and forth in a mesmerizing dance as the audience gazes in awe. Their world-famous performances have earned near-cult status across every continent and they feature regularly at festivals, special events, and private functions.

This extraordinary aerial display celebrates the journey between realms. Atop their swaying, spinning 5-meter poles, six performers deliver an ethereal, haunting performance that is both inspiring and thought-provoking. Rich with sublime and poetic wonder, this beautifully choreographed act is perfect for evening and nighttime performances, whether indoors or outdoors.
