Casting Off is an intergenerational circus with lots to say: the personal is political, fury is fun and the acrobatics downright dangerous – especially when life gets in the way.
Casting off stereotypes, these dynamic women tumble, talk, fly and balance precariously. This joyful, witty and poignant show (brought to us direct from Australia!) is a refreshing and uplifting conversation between three generations. It’s a performance that makes you laugh and cry simultaneously! Relaxed, personal and fantastically inappropriate, these powerhouse women win you over within minutes of hitting the stage.
‘… 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
Casting Off throws away the textbook on how you view contemporary circus. It’s no wonder that they have won awards around the world. Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to experience their thought-provoking circus artistry, and amazing acrobatic skills at your Chester Playhouse!
