Playing at the Judith Wright Centre from February 18–20, Knee Deep features the acrobatic talents of Casus, a home-grown circus act made up for four insanely talented (and toned) performing artists: Natano Fa’anana, Lachlan McAulay, Jesse Scott, and Emma Serjeant. After mesmerising audiences around the globe for four wildly successful years, Knee Deep is set to wow Brisbane audiences with a series of acts that display astonishing feats of strength, balance and pure skill.

Picture this: two egg cartons under the full weight of an adult female. You’d expect them to crack into a scrambled mess, wouldn’t you? Not if Casus’ Emma Serjeant is the one walking on them. Throughout this jaw-dropping opening act, your brow will be furrowed as you consider how such a feat is even possible. In fact, your brow will probably be furrowed and your mouth agape for the entire duration of the hour-long performance, as you watch the troupe expertly push the boundaries of strength and fragility. If you are looking for a drink or a nibble near the Judy, wander down to The Apo for some sophisticated fare, Yard Bird Alehouse for something casual or Alquimia for a post-show cocktail.
