The Wild Swans
by Turnip Ensemble Theater
Nov. 06 - Nov. 09
Thursday-Sunday
“A story about good versus evil, love and sacrifice, sibling relationships, magic, toads, nettles, ghosts and of course, wild swans,” says ensemble member and co-director Alex Grubbs. “That’s all we can say for now because we are still in the middle of our devising journey. But we’re working with what Eliza, the heroine, calls ‘bare feet and a burning heart’, the courage to be vulnerable, the curiosity to explore the unknown, and the fire of inspiration to guide us forward.”
A true piece of devised theater, The Wild Swans is being conceived, written, and staged collaboratively. “What we make together is deeper, stronger, and more impactful than what we can make alone,” added Grubbs. “We are something together that we could never be alone.”
