Stewart Theatre
Based in San Francisco, Joe Goode’s award-winning contemporary dance company presents Wonderboy, a search for love and belonging, created in collaboration with avant-garde puppeteer Basil Twist. Wonderboy is an unexpected tale of a peculiar hero isolated by his gift of sensitivity and an intuitive knack that sets him apart from others. He feels small and distant, an outsider with his nose pressed up against the glass, but in truth he has enormous power – to see and perceive and even to heal with his gentle demeanor. Goode's popular 1996 work Maverick Strain will open the evening. A deconstruction of Arthur Miller's screenplay for the film The Misfits, Maverick Strain compliments Wonderboy with its underpinnings of cowboy individualism and outsider identity.
