Driftwood — Casus Circus

Overview

If circus can be considered a feat of physical magic, then prepare for Casus to do the acrobatic equivalent of pulling a rabbit out of a hat. In their latest show, the Brisbane troupe will transform an empty stage into an active expression of life, love and humanity's innate need for contact.

Anyone who has ever tried to turn nothing into something — be it a blank page or an everyday situation — will appreciate the artistry at the heart of this world premiere performance. And with a name like Driftwood, so will anyone who feels like they're just floating through their existence.

Indeed, as it explores explosive encounters, hidden looks and humorous discoveries, and tells tales of loved ones, enemies and complete strangers too, Driftwood champions another piece of trickery — aka how everyone we know helps influence the person that we become. That's a significant topic for anyone to examine, let alone a circus show.
