Get ready to be amazed by Strange Fruit, an Australian performing arts group that fuses theatre, dance and circus together in a remarkable elevated medium. Performing at Discovery Green September 25 – 27 for their first Texas appearance, Strange Fruit will perform their work Swoon! and The Spheres on the Jones Lawn suspended above the audience. “Swoon!” is a spirited performance about love, loss, joy and freedom told by four elevated daredevil artists. “The Spheres” is a cosmic and awe-inspiring performance that takes a whimsical look at physics as four celestial beings emerge from and rise above giant illuminated globes.

Strange Fruit has performed in over 40 different countries to well over a million people at international festivals and events. Troupe performers are perched atop tall flexible poles that bend and sway in the air to seemingly impossible angles, creating a hypnotizing dance that audiences watch from below.
