WOLFGANG’S MAGICAL MUSICAL CIRCUS COMES TO CUNNAMULLA
On the 23rd May 2023 internationally renowned Circa Contemporary Circus by Circa, brings Wolfgang’s Magical Musical Circus to Cunnamulla, a modern-day story of featuring circus, magic, and musical madness.
Heralded as “manic and magical” (The Guardian, UK), “circus with a classy, classical touch” (Three Weeks in Edinburgh, UK) and “. . . a must-see show for all the family” (Edinburgh Life with Kids), Wolfgang’s Magical Musical Circus is the year’s must-see show for families.
The man known as Mozart appears amid a storm of powder, wigged and ready to throw musical madness into a crescendo of dives, swoops and twirls as a pair of mischievous acrobats and a multi-skilled musician reinvent the composer’s manic and magical music.
To those who know him, he is Wolfgang, the dart-playing, pun-loving ratbag. To those who are watching and listening, he is the wigged genius Mozart. Yaron Lifschitz, Artistic Director of Circa and creator of Wolfgang’s Magical Musical Circus, said the latest performance from the company would ignite both child and child-like imaginations.
‘This is a production for everyone, touching on the marksmanship of Mozart’s mad but magical music” Lifschitz said.
“The performers draw upon the frenzied, frantic and thrilling man himself turning the stage into a classical explosion of eclectic sounds and extraordinary visuals, all while wearing powder puff wigs!’
Created Artistic Director Yaron Lifschitz with Benjamin Knaption and the Circa Ensemble, and featuring klezmer-infused music rescored and recorded by the renowned Quincy Grant (Circa, Slingsby), Wolfgang’s Magical Musical Circus follows the hugely successful Carnival of the Animals, English Baroque, Humans and Opus as a circus art performance. “It’s meant to give you a sense of the power of this incredible music that’s been written. But mostly, it’s just a lot of fun.” Lifschitz concluded.
Suitable for the whole family (kids aged 3+), this new production runs for 60 thrilling, totally wigged out, minutes.
