Where is the wolf? What does the wolf represent? These are the questions that audiences will ask themselves each evening during this new “experiment” in city-wide theatre. Taking place across the entire city of Ravenna, the theatre will reach into its neighbourhoods and countryside wherever people wish to invite it by organising a space for it. But what about the wolf? The wolf is fear. Close your eyes and follow the story as it is told by its protagonists. While fear grows and expands in the dark, daylight reveals that the wolf itself is fragile, just like we are. That light shines through the crystal-clear voices of children, who still have the ability to see what is now lost to the eyes of adults.
