The Spheres

This Melbourne-based performing arts company delivers an extraordinary blend of theater, dance, and circus performance, using a unique elevated medium that literally takes their act above the rest. The five-meter sway poles create a grand visual spectacle that can entertain audiences in the thousands while remaining captivating and accessible.

Inspired by the image of wheat fields swaying in the breeze, the poles’ incredible strength and flexibility allow the performer to bend to seemingly impossible angles, moving back and forth in a mesmerizing dance as the audience watches in awe. Their world-famous performances have reached near-cult status on almost every continent, and they regularly perform at festivals, special events, and private functions.

In this act, giant illuminated multi-colored orbs balance atop 5-meter sway poles, each containing a character that awakens and gradually emerges to stand atop its sphere. This themed performance explores creation, life, and the universe, celebrating humanity’s existential connection to our planet. Stunningly beautiful and thought-provoking, this performance creates an impressive visual spectacle for evening and indoor shows and will add the WOW factor to your event.
