Tale of the Wolf

The Tale of the Wolf is the fictional autobiography of a woman half human, half wolf, set within a fictional history of wolves in Australia that challenges Freud’s theory of hysteria speaking back to psychoanalysis from the mouth of the wolf, a mythic figure of transformation. Weaving comic domestic anecdotes together with fragments of Angela Carter stories, the performance works through the body, dispelling the shadows that lie between the leaves of the stories we tell. It is a darkly twisted tale that seeks to reconcile us with our own natures. The performance was developed in residency at Odin Teatret in 2017 supervised by Roberta Carreri. It was supported by the Inner West Council’s Edge Spaces program in collaboration with Lucy Watson (Mads Clove) and presented as a work in progress at Teatr Brama’s Human Mosaic festival in 2018 in Goleniow, Poland. The performance with a newly developed second half was shown at Meraki Mainstage during the Sydney Fringe Festival 2023.

Tale of the Wolf is in the planning stages of touring the work to regional and international stages. If you would like us to bring the Wolf to you please get in touch!
