Swoon

This Melbourne-based performing arts company delivers a spectacular blend of theatre, dance, and circus performance, utilizing a unique elevated medium that truly sets their act above the rest. The five-meter sway poles create a grand visual display that can captivate audiences in the thousands while still being engaging and accessible.

Inspired by the image of a field of wheat swaying in the breeze, the poles' remarkable strength and flexibility allow the performers to bend to seemingly impossible angles, swaying hypnotically as audiences gaze up in wonder. Their world-renowned performances have gained near-cult status on almost every continent, and they regularly perform at festivals, special events, and private functions.

This performance is a timeless romantic tale of boy meets girl, reimagined with a humorous comic twist that will have audiences of all ages laughing out loud. Bright, colorful costumes, an energetic soundtrack, loud theatrics, and comic choreography, all performed on 5-meter sway poles, create a lively spectacle for everyone to enjoy. These four daredevil performers dance and flirt their way through a lighthearted exploration of love, loss, jealousy, and joy, sure to entertain and engage at your event.
