Gravity - a love story, Craos Mor's current performance work for indoor venues, is a dance, aerial and 3 screen video projection Space-Art performance on physical consciousness in shifting relationships with gravity.

A sell out at its premiere at Sadlers Wells on March 1st 2002, as part of Arts Catalysts' Artists and Cosmonauts’ series, Craos Mor is now looking for interested venues, festivals and curators to host this rarely seen new work.

The work is based on Morag Wightman's dance in zero and double gravity (parabolic flight) on an IL-MDK plane (pictured) with the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre, Russia. The flight, M.I.R Flight 001, in October 2001 was organized by The Arts Catalyst, London and Project Atol Flight Operations, Slovenia.

In Dadaistic performance verses the performers appear in the gravity playpark of aerial skiing; the eternal sacred space of spiritual submission and an underwater/ outerspace medium where a suspended fisherman taunts microgravity badminton players with an elusive flying shuttlecock in shifting volumes of psycho accoustic sound by sound engineers, Amir Shoat and Iain Ross.

In chorus, the sheer joy and abandon of Morag Wightman's dance experiments in zero gravity, captured on various cameras aboard the plane, are projected in a 3 screen choreography by video artist Gavin Lockhart with powerful music by critically acclaimed band,’ Little Japanese Toy’.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
The work requires an indoor venue of about 10m wide by 5m deep and 6m high. The flying rig to fly the performers requires the facility to screw non load bearing fixtures into the floor at the sides of the performance space and an overhead permanent grid structure with a consistent half a tonne spot load rating. Theatre weights (of a specified type) are required on site together with lighting grid or beams, lighting equipment, sound system, and 3 video projectors.
