reWILDING
by Martyna Majok
the Satori Group
There is a place between civilization and wilderness, where a people have set down roots, and use of the past tense has been outlawed. It is a society of the foreign and forgotten, the lost and the seeking, where guitars play stories people don't speak about. Tonight, someone new arrives.
A collaboration between the Satori Group and playwright Martyna Majok, reWilding places its audience in another America. Enter a community of memories and mysteries, strange humor, and complicated beauty.

PRESS FOR reWILDING:
"Even before the new theater piece 'reWilding' begins, you know you’re in for something extraordinary...'reWilding' is now a remarkable experience — and a haunting one, in a time of much alienation and rootlessness in our land." - Misha Berson, The Seattle Times
"The set, which Sullivan calls 'the installation,' is an immersive woodland environment that blurs the boundaries between performers and audience...It seems like a difficult show to pull off. But with every passing production, the Satori Group gets a little bolder and pushes itself a little further."- Brendan Kiley, The Stranger
"It’s as though you’re watching a day in the life, or week in the life, of a conclave. The acting is great here under Caitlin Sullivan’s direction, weaving in dance like interactions, breaking the fourth wall." - Maia Janelle, Seattle PI
