The Impossible on Stage at Dubai Opera

The Pulse is a breathtaking fusion of acrobatics, music and light, performed by the internationally acclaimed ensemble Gravity and Other Myths. This monumental production brings together 18 acrobats and 25 choir members in a fluid and mesmerizing display of human strength, harmony and precision. The Pulse performance is a spectacle of scale and synchronization, where human movement and sound come together to form a striking singular organism. The towering human structures shift and collapse, only to rise again amidst a pulsating ocean of voices. With dynamic lighting by Geoff Cobham and an evocative soundtrack by Ekrem Eli Phoenix, the performance creates a living, breathing system that connects acrobats, choir and audience. The work explores themes of cooperation, humanity and the forces that bind us, presenting a visceral and moving experience. Each step unfolds with precision, beauty, and seemingly impossible levels of collaboration. To attend this monumentally scaled spectacle is to witness a glittering mass of acrobats and choir members creating intricate systems of movement and sound through a sensory immersion that experiences the interplay of powerful acrobatics, live choral music, and sentient lighting design. Emotionally impactful, the show allows one to “feel the pulse of humanity” through a performance that celebrates connection, resilience, and shared existence.
