With Wilde’s strange, bare-bones script at the center, we are working with a diverse group of collaborators to devise a performance piece that extends past the conventional structure of the completed play that Wilde himself likely envisioned. This text lends itself beautifully to movement, poetry, translation, musical elements, and potentially the use of incense (smell-o-vision, anyone?) to expand the story and bring it into conversation with a modern audience. We are excited to bring this odd tale of the meeting of an opulent courtesan woman and a Christian hermit to life!
