Selkies are legendary creatures who are part seal, part human. Shedding their sealskins to take human form on land, selkies are traditionally described in stories where their skins are stolen, preventing them from ever returning to their true home under the sea.
Reimagining this myth for the 21st century, SELKIE: THE WET & WILD SHOW! is a provocative spectacle that brings animal rights, queerness and bodily autonomy into a whole new arena. Come and see a real-life selkie, expertly kept, trained and displayed by two glamorous women in wetsuits. Step onstage to feed him; watch him dance to kitschy pop anthems; marvel at his resilience as he batters his body on the floor, against all odds!
Slippery, subversive, wetter and wilder, Selkie slides his way onto the stage to thrill you, provoke you, and leave you gasping.
Recommended for ages 18+
