State Theatre Cottbus: Call of the Wild / Voice of Capital | Premiere

From Soeren Voima to Jack London

From sunny California to icy Alaska: Buck leads a relaxed life as a household dog, far from hunger and violence, until one day he is kidnapped and sold. He changes owners, each one more brutal than the last, and ends up as a sled dog in Klondike. As a slave for fortune seekers, he experiences the gold rush from its darkest side: a stark struggle for survival. Alongside the world-famous adventure novel, Soeren Voima narrates in "CALL OF THE WILD" under the guise of an animal story the demands and adaptations of a society shaped by competition and exploitation. In vivid imagery, Kaufmann/Witt follow the pull of the highly condensed language and bring the tale of a man-made wilderness directly into our present, marked by authoritarian longings.
