ROOKE
WILDS
Three tonnes of soil, no safety mats — two circus performers leap, tumble and love their way through a raw, dirty exploration of humanity’s bond with the earth.
-
Created and performed by acclaimed circus artists Freyja and Conor Wild, WILDS sets the stage with three tonnes of soil to explore how we connect as humans, how we’re connected (and disconnected) from the earth. WILDS uses a fusion of dance and contemporary circus to explore how nature reclaims controlled spaces and how our relationship to land informs our relationship to each other.
