Get a first look at phase one of NVA & Guests' new project. These performances offer a sneak peek into a larger concept still in development. Experience the creative exploration that will shape the final, complete production. Don’t miss your chance to witness the first phase of this groundbreaking work!

Cry Wolf is a dance-theater production that interlaces the urgency of climate change awareness with the classic narrative of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." The project transforms the familiar fable into a contemporary allegory about the dangers of ignoring repeated warnings, both environmental and ethical. Through a blend of highly physical choreography, text, and direct audience interaction, the show challenges spectators to discern truth from deception amidst a flood of information. Utilizing humor, Cry Wolf explores themes of responsibility, misinformation, and communal consequence, making it a poignant commentary on the state of our world's climate discourse and democratic engagement. NVA & Guests is excited to present "phase one" of Cry Wolf at Triskelion Arts this October!

Cry Wolf was created with the support of a 2024-25 CUNY Dance Initiative Residency at Gerald W. Lynch Theater At John Jay College; Triskelion Arts; and Brooklyn Arts Council.
