The Mirror, a new high-energy acrobatic work by Australian circus and physical theatre company Gravity & Other Myths (GOM), will have its Australian premiere in the Sydney Opera House’s Studio from 9 February – 11 March 2023.

Co-commissioned by the Sydney Opera House and the Chamäleon Theatre, Berlin, The Mirror will arrive in Sydney hot on the heels of its world premiere in Germany. It is GOM’s most physically and conceptually ambitious challenge to date, incorporating elements of variety and cabaret, blended with GOM’s signature earthy humour and playfulness.
