Wild Worlds: V - Artful Badger’s Company Of Animals Presents...

After winning the Spirit of the Festival award last year with Wild Worlds: Darksides, we are delighted to be back at The Vault this year with our third offering of Wild Worlds, ‘V’.

The all consuming lust, the tragedy of loss,the lightness of touch and the darkness of want. From Dante to Beckett we will endeavour to enamour and try not be trite as we talk all things LOVE. Its physical theatre. Its dance. Its performance. It might even be all three. This is an evening dedicated to the overpowering, sometimes underwhelming and never easy four letter word. Returning to the 15m long Cavern deep in the Vaults, our animals will tantalise, theorise and throw you right into the middle of their meddlesome minglings, as usual.

We at Artful Badger like to go out with a bang and so our residency at the Vaults under Waterloo Station culminates with our epic Love Potion Valentine's Ball. We will certainly be making a commotion at the Love Potion Ball.

Through Jan 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 to Feb 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13
