Lady Torpedo and Casus Circus present Knee Deep

20 February 2:00pm - 2:25pm 8:30pm - 8:55pm Judith Wright Centre - Performance Space Physical Theatre, Circus 25-min Excerpt All Ages

A breathtaking and fragile display of humanity with incredible physical feats performed with both raw emotion and honesty

Knee Deep is an awe-inspiring show of high-octane acrobatics and heart-warming humanity from internationally acclaimed circus company Casus. Four performers explore the boundaries of strength and tenderness as they push the physical form to the very bone-crunching, sinew-stretching limit. Bodies are pulled, weighed and tested - all probing the limits of physicality and feeling.

Using traditional and contemporary circus techniques, Knee Deep journeys through moments of raw discovery and fleeting relationships as the four artists demonstrate that delicacy does not equate to fragility. Jaw dropping strength and skill, thrilling physical feats, and a tender synergy combine for one mind-blowing performance.
