Two boys emerge from the sea and become engulfed in a world of savage longing. In this landscape of blurred roles, a mother may be a lover, a boy may be a girl, and power and sex are one. Wreckage, a haunting world premiere by Caridad Svich, weaves together moments of disconcerting beauty and pain as the boys search for a home amidst a culture of brutality.

Featuring Laura Jane Coles (top photograph), Detroit Dunwood (middle photograph, left), Eric Kerr (top photograph), Paul Lancour, Lawrence Radecker* (bottom photograph), and David Sinaiko (middle photograph).
