GIRLS GONE WILD
Cry. Smile. Rage. Repeat.
GIRLS GONE WILD is a new work by Bonnie Curtis Projects.
Imagine a wellness retreat for women—except this one is different. Welcome to the “Just Let It Go Anger Management Retreat for Angry Women” nestled in the peaceful hinterland outside your town.
This retreat promises tranquility, but under the surface, chaos brews. A group of young women embark on a holistic journey designed to smother their anger and mould them into “palatable” versions of themselves. As the pressure builds, so does the tension.
GIRLS GONE WILD fuses dance, theatre, comedy, and sharp social commentary to challenge what it means to live your “authentic best life”, with un-skippable ads, laugh-out-loud moments, deep reflections, and an embrace of the wild within.
Born from our seminal work GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS, this darkly satirical dance-theatre work explores the intricate links between societal expectations, gender roles, and women’s anger in the post #MeToo era.
GIRLS GONE WILD is premiering at Wollondilly Performing Arts Centre in 2025.
