Seeing the Beast to open Wednesday

By Christian DuComb on November 10, 2014

Seeing the Beast Performance PosterHuman beings are paving the road to extinction for animals everywhere. But what if we could bring the wilderness back? What if we could tip the scales so that ecosystems would restore themselves? What if we could turn down the dial of the deer population and turn up the dial of foxes, wildflowers, and songbirds? What if we could revive the majestic creatures from the forgotten age of the Pleistocene? Perhaps we can. If human beings can’t avoid playing God, then why not do a better job?

Seeing the Beast, an original theatrical creation made by Colgate students and visiting artist Scott Sheppard, challenges you to re-wild Planet Earth.

Seeing the Beast is an original piece of theatre created over a two-month rehearsal period. The student ensemble devised this based on research, observation, writing, improvisations, and performance assignments under the guidance of the director, visiting artist Scott Sheppard.
