The Call of the Wild

Recently Ashleigh worked with blind summit theatre on ‘The Call of the Wild’, and puppeteered, with two others, the three man dog that was Buck.

The call of the Wild is the classic story of Buck, a dog stolen from the comfort of his California home and thrust into the merciless life of a sledge dog in the Yukon Gold Rush in 1897. He has to quickly learn the laws of the wild and while the men around him descend into depravity, corrupted by their desire for gold, he is ennobled by the experience.

The piece was set to Mahler's 1st Symphony.
