They want their future back.
The chorus of children in “WILD: A Musical Becoming” (now through Jan. 2) is concerned about climate change and the fate of the planet and they want the adults to do something about it. Now. This exuberant fable, an American Repertory Theatre (A.R.T.) world premiere, centers around Bea, a single mom trying to manage a farm and connect with her teenage daughter, Sophia, in the town of Outskirtsia.
For the playwright, performer, and activist formerly known as Eve Ensler, who now goes by V, the inspiration for her new show “WILD: A Musical Becoming” can be traced to her move to a small town in the Catskills several years ago. For most of her adult life, the author of “The Vagina Monologues” had been an avowed city dweller. But after being diagnosed with uterine cancer and having what she calls “a near-death experience,” she decided to flee urban life and reconnect with the natural world.
