Circa

Wolf
Tue Jan 12 - Sun Jan 24

Hailing from Brisbane, Australia, Circa has redefined contemporary circus with its “astonishing physical mastery” (The New York Times) since 2004, producing a body of works that “redraws the limits to which circus can aspire” (The Age).  

The company debuts at The Joyce with Wolf, a gasp-inducing acrobatic thrill ride. For Director Yaron Lifschitz, the wolf is a symbol of our untameable selves: liberating, anarchic, and savage. Clad in designer Libby McDonnell's form-hugging costumes and set to DJ Ori Lichtik's driving, pulse-quickening rhythms, ten extraordinary Circa artists grasp, tear, climb, leap, and balance with fierce abandon. 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.
