Circus hit Wolf to make Newcastle debut at Civic Theatre(City of Newcastle)
Newy 87.8 FM – Tickets are on sale for gravity-defying acrobatic production Wolf, which will make its Newcastle debut at the Civic Theatre during this year's New Annual festival.
The global smash hit, which wowed crowds at Edinburgh Fringe and broke box office records in Europe, will play for two nights only on 2 and 3 October.
The shows mark the return of contemporary circus company Circa, which transformed Christ Church Cathedral into a performance space with sold-out shows during New Annual's 2023 program.
Festival Director Tory Loudon said New Annual offered audiences the chance to experience world-class artists without travelling to a capital city, describing Circa as one of the world's best performing arts companies, having captivated more than two million people in over 45 countries.
Wolf debuted in Germany in 2024 and has been seen in 12 countries. Its only previous Australian performances were two sold-out shows in Brisbane last November.
The production features 10 performers in a mix of acrobatics, artistry and primal instincts. Circa Artistic Director Yaron Lifschitz described it as "a savage, thrilling ride, a fierce maelstrom of acrobatic bodies".
New Annual, City of Newcastle's flagship arts festival, will run from 25 September to 4 October in its sixth edition. Other announced highlights include the free SOAK sunset live music sessions at Newcastle Ocean Baths and the Spiegeltent's Loca Vida season in Civic Park.
The full program will be announced on 31 July. Tickets for Wolf are on sale via the Civic Theatre website.
