Wunderkammer

WORLD PREMIERE BY CIRCA

In a Brisbane Festival world premiere, Circa, one of the most dynamic circuses in the world today, presents its fabulous and fantastical new creation, Wunderkammer.

A diva squeezes through a tiny ring, balloons disappear strangely, muscle bound gents stand precariously on each other while ropes are climbed, hoops spin and bodies fly, splat, tumble and balance.   Music, song, light and circus dance in this exquisite cabaret of the senses.

Sexy, funny and explosive – Wunderkammer offers a sophisticated cocktail of new circus, cabaret and vaudeville with sideways glances to sideshow and burlesque; where moments of great beauty and outrageous humour jostle for attention.

Created by Circa’s Artistic Director, Yaron Lifschitz, Wunderkammer is performed with the full weight of talent of Circa’s seven-strong ensemble.

Brisbane based Circa work nationally and internationally offering inventive new ways to experience the awe-inspiring world of circus. Combining physically unfeasible skills with a poetic sensibility, its works amaze, astonish and move audiences.

Get along to QUT Festival Theatre, Brisbane Festival’s purpose built amphitheatre at the Brisbane Powerhouse and experience the incredible world of Circa.

“...knee-tremblingly sexy, beautiful and moving. 4/5 Stars.” The Guardian, UK (review for self titled work, CIRCA)

“...It all moves at break-neck speed, no two routines are the same, and you’re pretty much guaranteed to feel like you're out of shape afterwards. Brilliant.” NBC New York
