About the show
Step into Lightgarden, a gentle and immersive contemporary circus experience from Big Wolf Company, Estonia’s first touring contemporary circus company.
In this intimate performance, Lightgarden invites audiences on a shared adventure through light, shadow and story. The journey begins with a guided walk, created specially for each location, inviting you to experience familiar surroundings anew and encouraging a more attentive and curious way of seeing. From there, audiences are welcomed into a beautiful tent inside Circomedia, where an audience of just 45 people gather within a world of projections, storytelling and aerial acrobatics.
Created as a space that feels “like an embrace” or “a grandmother’s lap, where all children can fit”, Lightgarden offers a soft, caring alternative to an overstimulating world. Inside the tent, you can settle in one place or move gently with the performance as stories unfold through light, movement and imagination.
Suitable for ages 7+, Lightgarden is a magical experience for children and adults alike to discover together. Presented as part of the Baltic Circus Now UK Showcase, this special intimate production visits for two days only. Spaces are limited.
About the company
BIG WOLF COMPANY is Estonia’s first professional contemporary circus troupe. Big Wolf Company was founded by Grete Gross and Lizeth Wolk in 2015, when the creation of the play “Eternal Dinner” began. Lizeth and Grete graduated from Finnish Circus School (SaSak Circus Education, Lahti)
Joining forces, Big Wolf Company creates performances for every taste: stylish retro comedies but also touching solo productions. The troupe moves towards a common goal, to make the whole of Estonia love circus and to show how versatile circus art can be.
