Reinventing puppetry for modern adult audiences.
Call Of The Wild was about finding our true nature and followed the life of a dog kidnapped into the Yukon Gold Rush at the end of the 19th century. As the dog becomes wilder he is ennobled by the experience, while the men around him descend into increasing depravity, corrupted by their desire for gold.
Inspired by the Jack London story, this adaptation of Call Of The Wild used shadows and life-sized puppets to recreate the Artic Tundra onstage and tell this classic tale of adventure and self discovery.
