A Wolf Shall Devour the Sun

Dougie Mackay / Jemima Thewes • Professional company

60 minutes•Netherbow Theatre
Respected by ancient cultures but the archetypal villain in European fairy tales, wolves were hunted to extinction in Scotland by the 18th century. Ancient myth, mesmeric imagery and dreamlike soundscapes open a liminal space where Norse gods, Irish shapeshifters and Siberian wolf-children traverse Scottish moors and Transylvanian mountains. Live music stirs the soul. Shadow puppetry and animation portray terror and playfulness. Stories about our oldest ally ask: in the absence of the wolf, what is lost? Performed by Dougie Mackay and Jemima Thewes. Originally commissioned by the Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2024.
