‘Magnificent’ - Reviews of Driftwood By Casus Circus

An “incredibly beautiful” show that will “make your lungs seize” - one of the most highly anticipated family events of GIAF 2017 is Casus Circus’ Driftwood.

The show, from the Australian company that brought us the spectacular Knee Deep at GIAF 2013, was a huge hit at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe last year, enjoying glowing review after glowing review.

Reviews of Casus Circus' Driftwood:

“In an almost flooded market, Casus has floated like cream to the top,” said the Scotsman, describing Driftwood as “breathtakingly beautiful and eye-wateringly difficult.”

The Edinburgh Festival List described Driftwood as “circus that makes your lungs seize, that makes you want to jump to your feet: circus that makes you glad you are there in the moment watching it and not anywhere else.”

Ed Fest Magazine described it as one of the most “magnificent” shows of the Edinburgh Festival last year.

Driftwood is 'Breathtaking' - Adelaide Fringe

The Stage pointed to the refreshing challenge Driftwood poses to gender preconceptions. “Pleasingly, Driftwood probes our expectations about gender, daintiness and who does the heavy lifting.”

The Advertiser, AdelaideNow gave it five stars. “Breathtaking sounds like a buzzword, so let’s just say I kept forgetting to breathe; eyes wide, mouth agape, in complete awe.”

Carns Theatre Passion said; "Be prepared to be bewildered, thrilled, mesmerised and truly wonder at its magnificent execution."

Don’t miss this spectacular show of extraordinary choreography, trapeze, acrobatics stunts - a perfect show for a family GIAF day out at Galway International Arts Festival this July.
