“She Grows Wings" is an original aerial theater show created by GravityWorks Circus showcasing their first ensemble.

"She Grows Wings" is a story about a young daydreamer who escapes the reality of her parents' constant fighting through her imagination.

Through her dreams we find her floating in space, playing with forest creatures, and venturing a little too far when she meets the mermaids who whisk her deeper into a fairytale land. How long is our young daydreamer able to avoid reality? Will she be able to reunite with her family or will she get lost in her imagination?

"She Grows Wings" is a powerful story about finding courage in yourself to face your fears and the power of love that leads us back home.
