Wild
Wild - What does it conjure up for you? Is it a moment standing at the edge of a raging sea or being lifted up and spat out of a whirling tornado; running for your life through city streets or coming face to face with a wolf; the animal within that can’t always be tamed or the wilderness at the edge of your home?
Created through conversations with local people across the Black Country, ‘Wild’ is a new theatre production celebrating what Wild means to us, in the natural world, in our cities and within ourselves. With an ensemble cast, community choir, rich soundscapes and live music it invites the audience to reflect on their own definitions of Wild, fostering a deeper appreciation of both nature and human nature.
