Wilderness

9 - 11 August 2019

Presented by The Runaway Company

Written by Seth Bockley & Anne Hamburger

Directed by Izzul Irfan & Choo Ian Kang

In Wilderness, six individuals undergo an outdoor therapy programme designed to treat traumatized teenagers. Wilderness recounts the stories of these individuals trying to mend themselves after painful, and often traumatic, experiences. Healing is different for each of them - but none face an easy path ahead. In the isolation of the wild, unfamiliar terrain, however, these individuals discover that even in the loneliest times, they are not alone. Separated from their families and cut off from all civilization, they are pushed to connect with one another, united by their shared experiences. It is this breaking of walls that enables the first hopes of recovery to shine through.​

Wilderness compounds the visceral poignancy of confronting one’s inner demons with a haunting original score by Erika Poh. A one-of-a-kind music theatre piece, it promises to take you on the individuals' journey of falling, healing, and resilience.
