Oct. 18 & 19 at 7:30 DRIVE WOLVES MAD
https://app.tickettailor.com/events/pwnw/1365141

Collaborative duo Jenny Peterson and Kaitlin McCarthy of Seattle are coming to PWNW to present an evening length dance work of horror, humor, and friendship, told through their distinctive aesthetic of the unhinged and uncanny.

DRIVE WOLVES MAD tracks the aftermath of an inciting event and ambiguous line between victim and perpetrator. A musical score by Jenny Peterson riffs on predatory pop songs, altering and abstracting them as an act of reclamation. Peterson/McCarthy’s journey seeks to transcend archetypes authored by men, finding their way to a place of survival and remediation–a way to exist in a context of their own creation.
