Cry Wolf

Heidi Duckler Dance presents Cry Wolf, a bold, immersive evening length performance experience inspired by The Three Little Pigs and The Boy Who Cried Wolf, where the wolf becomes a symbol of threat, fear, and consequence. Premiering on Saturday, August 1, 2026, Cry Wolf invites audiences to move through the multi-leveled courtyard at the Jeffrey Deitch Gallery in West Hollywood, encountering shifting environments shaped by dance, music, and light. Drawing from the materials of straw, wood, and brick, each space becomes a living structure where choreography and sound reveal how systems of trust, communication, and protection can fracture and reform. Blurring the line between story and lived experience, Cry Wolf transforms familiar fables into a contemporary exploration of how we build, defend, and destabilize our sense of safety. Through striking visual worlds and intimate encounters, the work reflects on vulnerability, preparedness, and the forces that challenge our stability. Immersive and deeply human, Cry Wolf invites audiences to reckon with what it means to face the wolf and what that fear reveals about us.
