Adelaide Premiere | Australia | Performance
By Circa Contemporary Circus
Straight from the score and onto the stage, the man known as Mozart appears tumbling and twirling. 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.
Wolfgang’s Magical Musical Circus animates the mischievous composer’s vibrant compositions in a wonder-filled hour of physical comedy and thrilling acrobatics designed to amaze people of all ages. Featuring Circa’s dexterous daredevil artists and a live accordionist, watch as the notes are physically lifted off the page by performers who bring Mozart’s irrepressible spirit and vibrant compositions to life.
