Driftwood
Casus Circus (Winner, Best Circus & Physical Theatre, Adelaide Fringe Festival 2016) presents their new work, Driftwood.
As we drift along the current of life we are shaped by the humans we encounter. The stories of our loved ones, our enemies and complete strangers guide us and determine the person we become.
In this colourful and turbulent concoction of pure joy and
intimacy, watch Casus bring a blank canvas to life and reveal in our
innate need for human contact.
This is a circus show that does
not let you forget that to feel is to be human and in a moment of
danger, a grasping hold is survival.
The unique acrobatic shapes
signature to Casus abound in this journey of explosive encounters,
hidden looks, and humorous discoveries.
Accompany Casus as we
surge forward... Together.
"...A dazzling performance which demonstrates that beauty and power of the body can be the same thing." Coreen Grant Ed Fringe Review ★★★★★
Presented by: Casus Circus
Renowned for their aesthetic of delicately human circus, Casus Circus’ premier work Knee Deep is an international sensation. Performed in over 15 countries in 2015 alone, Knee Deep won international accolades including including Best Circus & Physical Theatre 2016 Adelaide Fringe and Best Circus & Physical Theatre Avignon 2015.
Casus Circus performances are rich in human connection, integrity, cultural diversity and precise, intelligent chorography. Acrobats fill the stage with momentum and stillness, with strength and fragility, and overwhelm audiences with breathless emotion that often leads to a silent theatre throughout the performance– followed by a standing ovation at the end.
Off stage, Casus actively work to maintain their human connections through community engagement, education, and collaboration alongside their performance works.
