 Wild Child. Ludus Dance Company.
Published: 'Before dawn on January 9th 1800, a remarkable creature came out of the woods near a village in southern France. Animal in behaviour, human in form, speechless and naked, he appeared to be a boy of about eleven or twelve'. So starts the well documented case of the wild boy of Aveyron; Wild Child, choreographed by Jane Scott-Barrett,takes this fascinating history and uses it as a starting point for a dynamic and exhilarating show exploring the boundaries of 'civilised' behaviour. A teacher's support pack is available separately. [Uncoded, for world-wide use on PAL compatible equipment.] |
