Double Happiness

This Melbourne based performing arts company performs a remarkable fusion of theatre, dance and circus performance, incorporating a unique elevated medium which sets their act quite literally above the rest. The five metre sway poles create a large-scale visual spectacle that can perform to audiences numbering in the thousands while still remaining engaging and accessible.

Originally based on the image of a field of wheat swaying in the breeze, the poles’ extreme strength and flexibility allow the performer to bow to impossible angles, swaying back and forth in a hypnotising dance as the audience looks up in wonder. Their world-renowned performances have achieved a near-cult status in almost every continent across the globe, and they perform regularly at festivals, special events and private functions.

A poetic and virtuosic aerial display celebrating the notion of unity, this show’s oriental theme will transport audiences to an exotic far away place, a realm where emperors and empresses set flight in search of love and happiness. Beautifully extravagant costumes and elegant choreography bring this concept to life. Originally created for a season at the Marina Bay Sand in Singapore, this performance will add excitement and a touch of something different to your event.
