Unruly

About

Empatheatre, in collaboration with The Baxter, the Stockholm Resilience Centre and the Unruly Natures research project, presents a return season of UNRULY, starring Andrew Buckland and double bassist Chantal Willie-Petersen.

This immersive storytelling performance, based on extensive academic and creative research, explores the coexistence of urban baboons and humans in the fictional town of Skemer Baai, where tensions rise following the mysterious disappearance of a baboon matriarch. Directed by Neil Coppen and co-written with Andrew Buckland and Dr. Dylan McGarry, the production features a new original score by Braam DuToit, with lighting design by Tina le Roux and set and costumes by McGarry. UNRULY invites audiences to engage with the complexities of human-animal relationships, Cape Peninsula’s shared ecology, and the unpredictable forces of nature, brought to life through Buckland’s dynamic performance and Willie-Petersen’s evocative music.
