More

Wolf, Wolf by Toyboys is a physical dance production with crazy comedy in the direction of Monty Python. The production is inspired by the musical fairytale Peter and the Wolf. We meet characters such as the brave bird, the poor duck, the cat, the grandfather and the ugly wolf, but in this version, there is no conclusion or clear logic. The text is removed and to a large degree the audience take part in based on the visual. The production changes from time to time based on the response from the children.

Wolf, Wolf had its premiere in Dansens Hus/The Norwegian Theatre June 15 in 2005.

Wolf, Wolf was developed within the EU project Glitterbird. The project was initiated and led by the professsors Ellen Os and Leif Hernes at the University College of Oslo. Glitterbird was the largest and most expansive art project ever initiated and led from Norway. Glitterbird aimed to examine and develop performing arts for small children. The project included a total of five countries: Norway, Denmark, Finland, Hungary and France.

Wolf, Wolf by Toyboys was supported by the Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs/MFA (travel grant/performing arts).
