Strange Fruit is a Melbourne-based performing arts company that produces and performs a remarkable style of work that fuses theatre, dance and circus, using a unique elevated medium. Perched atop 15-foot high flexible poles of original design, the troupe delivers a sublime performance, bending and swaying in the air, captivating and engaging the audience in absolute fascination.
Originally based on the image of a field of wheat swaying in the breeze, the poles' extreme strength and flexibility allow the performers to bow in a way that defies gravity, swaying back and forth in a hypnotizing dance as the audience looks up in wonder.
With a world-renowned repertoire that celebrates a wide variety of themes and stories, the company has achieved near-cult status in almost every continent across the globe.
