GIRLS GONE WILD – New Work In Development

GIRLS GONE WILD is a new multidisciplinary work-in-development by Bonnie Curtis.

Beginning as a sequel to our seminal work GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS, this is an engaging and darkly satirical dance-theatre piece exploring the intricate links between societal expectations, gender roles, and women’s anger in the post #MeToo era.

Inspired by Soraya Chemaly’s book ‘Rage Becomes Her‘ and Grace Tame’s advocacy and unapologetic expressions of anger, the work dissects sources of women’s anger through a post #MeToo lens.

GIRLS GONE WILD follows a group of stereotypical Millennials and GenZs on a quest to eliminate anger, embrace their best selves, and live their best lives. 

Set against the backdrop of the ‘Just Let It Go Anger Management Retreat For Angry Women,’ led by the enigmatic retreat leader, participants undergo a “wellness” journey aimed at suppressing anger to conform to societal expectations.

GIRLS GONE WILD weaves dance, theatre, comedy, and social commentary with dystopian video projections, unskippable ad breaks, and an original riotous music score to spark dialogue, challenge norms, and inspire the little girl in all of us to be her wildest self.
