DEAD AS A DODO
Wakka Wakka is visual theatre company led by co-artistic directors Kirjan Waage and Gwendolyn Warnock. Since 2001, the company has developed 13 original works that combine physical performance, puppetry, masks, and original music to explore contemporary global themes through visually arresting, often surreal storytelling. Our mission is to create new works that are bold and unpredictable. The work is driven by a commitment to formal experimentation and an interest in the intersections between fantasy and reality, humor and sincerity.
