About Mechanimal
Wild Thing! is a physical theatre show from Mechanimal, performed by Tom and Xavi, that takes audiences on a wildly playful nature safari through bad animal impressions and feral duets of body and sound. A sequel to the company's hit show Vigil, it is described as a bittersweet meditation on life in an age of extinction — more animals, more madness and more soul. Running for 45 minutes at TechCube 0, the show contains audience participation and strobe lighting.
Why see this show?
Mechanimal have earned a reputation for theatre that is simultaneously absurd and genuinely moving. Wild Thing! expands on their previous work with more creatures and more heart — a Fringe show that stays with you.
