Do you know the tale of The Wild Duck? Four actors and an audience have gathered to see this reimagined play and ask themselves if they can live without telling a lie. Is the bitter truth better than the sweetest lie?

In the Wild Duck Project, four actors have gathered to tell the story of The Wild Duck. In the process, they take apart the play and find an uneasy resemblance with their own lives. Through their reimagining of the play, they discover that truth is dead and lies are our sustenance. If they choose to follow the ideals of truth over a life of lies, are they noble or foolish? Each night, they invite an audience to answer this with them and discover why lies are not only useful but necessary in life.
Lit entirely by the actors using four lamps and a set of flashlights, the performance is a mash-up of text from the play, personal testimonials from the performers, remixed classic pop and folks songs, and shadow puppetry. The project asks whether or not human beings can live their lives without telling a single lie.
Wild Duck Project asks if it is truly possible to live free and truthful, and if not, is it so bad to be false?
