The Boy and The Wolf

Ismailova Theatre of Dance invites you to experience ‘The Boy and The Wolf,’ an action-packed performance that explores the age-old question of nature versus nurture. We will follow Kokserek, a wolf who was stolen from his den as a pup. He is raised alongside humans, and finds unexpected friendships in a human boy, and a puppy. However, as he matures, his world is shattered when he escapes and discovers a wolf pack for the first time, meeting the enigmatic She-Wolf. He must come face to face with a profound dilemma, forcing him to choose between his loyalty to his friends and the undeniable pull of the wild.

Will the growing wolf be able to overcome his wild nature and live in harmony with the humans? Or will the humans’ attempts to control the natural world come back to bite them?
