Casting Off | Somerset Civic Centre
Event description
Intergenerational circus with lots to say: the personal is political, fury is fun and the acrobatics downrightdangerous–especially when life gets in the way. Casting Off stereotypes, these dynamic Australian women tumble, talk, fly and balance precariously.
This joyful, witty and poignant circus show is a refreshing and uplifting conversation between three generations.Circus that makes you laugh and cry simultaneously! Relaxed, personal and fantastically inappropriate, these powerhouse women win you over within minutes of hitting the stage.
Casting Off throws away the text book on how you view contemporary circus. 'Casting Off is a joy: these three wonderful women have knitted together a truly extraordinary piece of feisty feminist circus that is fabulously funny to boot'(TotalTheatre.org.uk). It's no wonder that they have won awards around the world. Family-friendly – don't miss this one.
Most enjoyable for ages 8+, babes in arms (up to 24 months) welcome free of charge.
