From Brisbane, Australia comes a bold new vision of contemporary circus. A blending of bodies, light, sound and skills. A place where acrobatics and movement meld into a seamless whole. A celebration of the expressive possibilities of the human body at its extremes. Since 2006 Circa has toured to 34 countries across six continents. Circa’s work has been rapturously received by audiences, presenters and critics around the world. Critics have raved about Circa calling the work “stunning…exquisite… heart stopping” and “electrically charged”.
The world is going to the dogs. Be a wolf. Wolfis an antidote to these complex, messed-up times. It is a howl to our primal, untamed selves; awash with anarchic joy and ablaze with savage energy. Eyes burning bright, fiercely alive, tinged with danger, alone or in packs, wolves roam the dark forests filling the night with ferocious beauty. Circa’s latest creation features ten exceptional acrobatic artists who push themselves to the limits over the productions’ two contrasting halves. Part One “Wolves Within and Without” features layered solos and intricate duets that explore freedom, control and connection. In Part Two –“Pack” –a mass acrobatic choreographic engine draws the entire group, creating a stage overflowing with raw energy and astounding physicality.
