Cassowary

(working title)

New project available from Spring 2008

A co-production with Company F.Z, Cassowary is being developed ready for touring from Spring 2008.

A new direction for circus and play-writing – this extraordinary vision combines aerial acrobatics, video and narrative text in an entirely new way to look at the contradictions between adventure, risk and everyday life.

Do you know that feeling when part of you wants to settle for the home, the relationship and stability - while the other part of you wants to throw everything up, live dangerously, behave badly and have adventures?

Drawing on the landscapes, soundscapes and the adrenalin rush of action films and video games, this surreal adventure playground of a show combines aerial acrobats and actors; visual spectacle and illusion; circus stunts and magic; film projection and live action – and a full on adventure sound-track.

The show will be developed ready for touring from Spring 2008. We are looking for middle scale venues and co-commissioning partners.
