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.
