A gasp inducing acrobatic thrill ride. 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. Wolf is circus with fangs. Join the pack.

Part comedy, part meditation on a changing Australia, TRUCK DRIVER is the latest genre-defying work from Jonny Hawkins and Nell Ranney fresh from its world premiere at the Sydney Opera House.

Belt up and strap in. And please, keep an eye out for roos.
