The world is going to the dogs. Be a wolf.
Join the pack when internationally acclaimed Australian
contemporary circus company Circa brings its thrilling production Wolf to The Playhouse Company for a
limited season. Created by Yaron Lifschitz and the Circa Ensemble, Wolf is a gasp-inducing acrobatic thrill
ride that pushes the boundaries of contemporary circus through astonishing
physicality, primal energy and breath-taking artistry.
Featuring ten extraordinary performers, Wolf explores instinct, freedom and human connection through a captivating fusion of acrobatics, movement and theatrical storytelling. Set to the relentless rhythms of acclaimed Sound Designer Ori Lichtik, enhanced by the striking Costume Design of Libby McDonnell and atmospheric Lighting Design by Alex Berlage, the production transforms the stage into a visceral world where strength, vulnerability and instinct collide.
For Director Yaron Lifschitz, the wolf represents our untameable selves liberating, anarchic and savage. Across 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.
Since premiering in 2024, Wolf has captivated audiences across Australia, Germany, Canada, Spain and Scotland, earning critical acclaim for its extraordinary acrobatics, innovative staging and artistic vision.

Tickets: R170 – R200. Booking through Webtickets.
