Something has taken over Joanna's flat, and it's seriously affecting her humdrum life of work and lonely tv dinners. Her sense of reality is starting to slip. Wild Life is a gripping story that brings together puppetry, physical performance and original music, to take Joanna on a journey, forcing her to go beyond the walls of her flat to face someone she has lost.
Wild Life is an accessible, funny and thought-provoking hour long performance for small to medium scale theatre spaces, suitable for people aged 12 and older. We offer workshops and participation activities in Puppetry, Clown and Design relating to the themes of the piece which explore connections between mental health & mythology.
" ...Wild Life serves up a jungle of emotions, the urge to make sure you never fall into the pit of personal abandonment and become stale, a ghost of yourself; for nobody should ever feel that small or insignificant. A wonderful production!" Ian D. Hall - Liverpool Sound and Vision
