Brisbane Powerhouse and Circa present
Scattered Tacks
Thu 26 - Sat 28 Nov 09
Far from the sensory-overload of much contemporary performance, Scattered Tacks leads audiences into an anarchic and absurd vision of circus.
Award winning Adelaide trio (Terri Cat Silvertree, Aelx Gellmann and Skye Gellmann) take us back to the very essence of the circus; the circus behind the popcorn, the frills and the grand gestures.
Let yourself be enchanted by a heart-warming, anarchistic and brazenly physical performance full of tender moments and poignant images. No roaring spectacle but rather small greatness. Or great smallness of course...
Unique and inventive explorations include disorientating bowling balls, human pyramids, and an assortment of razor sharp carpet tacks!
“A truly astonishing experience… It's not sideshow shock or big-top spectacle. But it is, frankly, brilliant.” The Sunday Age.
“Unlike anything you’ve seen before, ever.” Buzzcuts
