Circa, one of the world’s great performing arts companies, returns to His Majesty's Theatre from Thursday, July 24 to Saturday, July 26, with the UK premiere of their fierce new show Wolf, launching the second year of Aberdeen Performing Arts' International Season.
Known for their award-winning performances across six continents, Circa are at the forefront of a new wave of contemporary Australian circus, redefining the art form by showcasing how extreme physicality can forge powerful and emotive experiences.
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. The wolves evolve from disruptive forces of chaos into a ferocious pack whose intense choreographies overflow with raw energy and astounding physicality.
Aberdeen Performing Arts chief executive, Sharon Burgess, said: “Wolf by Circa is bold, ground-breaking and extraordinary, making it the perfect way to open our 2025 International Season.
“The entire season has been carefully curated to showcase world-class talent across all genres, right here in Aberdeen. Many of the international artists who are travelling to the UK for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe are now including Aberdeen in their itineraries, creating more unforgettable performances on our doorstep and a more sustainable touring model.
“We’re thrilled to have such a fantastic and varied line-up for everyone to enjoy over the coming weeks.”
Aberdeen Performing Arts’ 2025 International Season features a ground-breaking series of performances from international acts encompassing circus, acrobatics, comedy, theatre, dance and family events, audiences will be invited to enjoy shows from cutting edge international artists in a showcase of excellence on a world stage.
