"Feral" - Sandglass Theater “Feral” explores a woman’s struggle between instinct and societal norms, portrayed through her allegorical transformation into a werewolf

“Feral” is a tale of intuition and learned behavior told in puppetry by Sandglass Theater, which has shared whimsical, thought-provoking, and sometimes challenging work across the world for decades.

Created and led by Sandglass Artistic Director Shoshana Bass, “Feral” invites audiences on a woman’s journey as she experiences the tension between her intuitive knowledge and learned societal behavior, captured by an allegorical transformation into a werewolf. As the woman tries to reintegrate this wild voice, she wrestles with her sanity while being diagnosed with a growing feral condition. Within the protection of her domelike dress, domestic acts are disrupted by ancestral visitations and dreams of wolves.

Sandglass is touring with “Feral” this year and will bring the show all over the country. Bass, her creative team, and the puppets will stop in Alaska before coming to Adams. “The first two years of touring are essential to the continued development of the show,” she said. “It’s a final piece of the puzzle in discovering the soul of the show.”
