ON THE WOLF’S TRAIL
Youth Theatre, Novi Sad
Jack London’s novel The Call of the Wild inspired Czech director Jakub Maksymov to create a theatrical composition for six actors, one drummer, ten microphones, four dogs, and one deer. On the Wolf’s Trail tells the story of Buck, a dog sold during the Gold Rush to work in the Canadian province. Buck’s life story is filled with hardships brought on by unfamiliar circumstances, but also by the uncompromising freedom awakening within him. The actors in this production push the boundaries of puppetry, and as they create a wondrous phantasmagoria on stage, they transport the audience into another dimension—making On the Wolf’s Trail feel like a small masterpiece.
