Abstract
Peter and the Wolf is a retelling of the classic symphonic fairy tale for children, queerly remade. Incorporating elements of film, live audio, and imposed communication technologies, the performance boldly imagines what has transpired in the theatre in the six months since the artists were forced to abandon the theatre, leaving the characters to their own devices. Peter and the Wolf explores the perception of identity through a layered, mediated lens, inviting viewers to reflect on new definitions of otherness, agency and representation. Told largely from the perspective of the Wolf, the performance challenges diametric oppositions of the self through an infinite journey of simultaneity, moving away from a normative polarities of Either and Or towards an inclusive Neither alive with possibilities.
