Be A Wolf

Fayetteville State University • Student/Youth company

50 minutes•theSpace @ Venue 45
You don't have to be afraid of the dark. That's just a story people tell to make themselves feel safe. But what if the dark isn't hunting you? What if it's calling? I don't chase. I don't have to. Because fear doesn't push you away, it pulls you closer. You feel it, don't you? That whisper. That pull. The question that won't leave you alone. You could scroll by, pick another show, pretend this wasn't meant for you. Or admit it, you were never not coming. So go on. Be A Wolf.

About Fayetteville State University

Be A Wolf is a dark comedy theatre piece by Fayetteville State University, performed at theSpace at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show is built around a seductive internal monologue that calls to the audience rather than chasing them — exploring the pull of fear and the whisper that won't leave you alone. The show invites the audience to stop scrolling, admit they were always going to show up, and embrace the wolf within. It runs for 50 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over. Audience participation is involved.

Why see this show?

Be A Wolf is a show that addresses you directly and dares you to come. It is unusual in its premise — built on instinct and the dark rather than a conventional narrative — and its directness makes it genuinely intriguing.
