Key Australian contemporary circus company putting everything on display. Acrobat's three core performers – Moses, Simon Yates, Jo-Ann Lancaster – have boiled their practice down to a raw, surly, Antipodean style: showing the audience every part of themselves (sometimes literally), performing only as themselves, taking the directest possible route to the truth. Founded in 1996, an influential company.
