WOLF
Wolf is a new folk opera, written by Aleah Black and loosely based on a Hungarian fairytale. It revolves around questions of obligation, love, trauma, motherhood, and humanity. It follows the story of a wolf woman and her human family as they struggle to find a home in the world or the wild. Wolf is an examination of modes of storytelling, song, dance, visual arts, and poetry. With a live folk band and a pack of wolves, it asks the audience what it means to be home, what it means to be kept.
