Overview

The world is going to the dogs. Be a wolf. 

Wolf. A gasp-inducing acrobatic thrill ride.  

Clad in designer Libby McDonnell’s form-hugging costumes and set to DJ Ori Lichtik’s relentless primal rhythms, the cast of ten extraordinary Circa artists grasp, tear, climb, leap and balance with fierce abandon.  

For Director Yaron Lifschitz, the wolf is a symbol of our untameable selves: liberating, anarchic and savage. In two contrasting acts, the wolves evolve from disruptive forces of chaos into a ferocious pack whose intense choreographies overflow with raw energy and astounding physicality.  

Making its Australian premiere in Brisbane this November, Wolf is circus with fangs. Join the pack. 

About Circa

Circa: circus that moves the world.  

Circa is one of the world’s great performing arts companies. Since 2004, they have called Brisbane home while touring the world, captivating audiences in over 45 countries and reaching more than two million people. Their award-winning performances have earned standing ovations, rave reviews and sold-out shows across six continents.  

They are relentless in the way they push boundaries, blending movement, dance, theatre and circus.  

Under the visionary leadership of Yaron Lifschitz, and in collaboration with their extraordinary ensemble of circus artists, they craft a diverse array of productions that constitute “a revolution in the spectacle of circus” (Les Echos).  

Each year they tour their shows across the world and premiere multiple new creations. They are a staple at prestigious festivals and venues in New York, London, Berlin and Montreal as well as throughout Queensland and across Australia.  

They invite you to join them as they continue to “redraw the limits to which circus can aspire” (The Age).
