The Wheel (Workshop)

Who shaped me that I cannot see? Capital W announces an all new workshop production: The Wheel. The Wheel is a healing ritual for reaching back into your lineage and digging up the bones that weren’t buried right. The Wheel is an immersive remix of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel (yes, really), the classic Hungarian play Liliom, and our own family histories. The Wheel is outdoor, ritual theatre, round a fire. Will you be there? Drawing on the age-old human need to gather in a circle and share stories, The Wheel is more than just an unconventional retelling of Billy Bigelow and Julie Jordan: it is a community ritual, in which the audience will take on roles, tend the fire, and sing together. We will candidly explore the show’s themes of domestic violence and intergenerational pain, while offering hope and a space of healing. Each performance will ask the question: “How has my family story shaped me — and can I break the cycles I’ve inherited?”
