Australian Theatre of the Deaf (ATOD) presents The Wild Boys at the
Parade Playhouse, NIDA for a strictly limited season from 12 to 29
November 2008.
The Wild Boys will be directed by ATOD Artistic Director
CAROLINE CONLON who explains: “I have always wanted to explore
the potential of combining sign language with physical movement as
a visual means of telling a story. Hearing audiences are familiar
with physical movement; Deaf audiences are familiar with sign language.
This play will bridge the linguistic gap between the Deaf and hearing
worlds”.
The Wild Boys is a story about two very different boys from
worlds and times apart who view the world through similar eyes. One
was brought up in a forest in southern France in the late 1700’s
who lived and behaved like an animal. No language. No emotion.
The other is a deaf
boy brought up in western Sydney today with the instincts of a wild
child; with little language and little emotion.
Through an innovative
theatre language of body expression and physical prose, these divided
worlds bond to deliver The Wild Boys – this is their
story.
