Are You a Wilder?
10th
June

The Wilders are caretakers. They tend to the balance of their village. They listen to the land as they help abundance flow. They guide the needs of the people into harmony with the needs of all life around them.

The tools of a Wilder is remediation through mycology, animals, plants and life itself. They change the land by asking and courting certain ways of life to grow and take root.

The Remembering is here and its time to ask ourselves the question: Do we own the land or do we belong to it? A place can be like our family, familiar and sewn into the day to day of our lives. As people we can define ourselves by how we care for that family and village. This kinship is reflected in how we tend to the Earth and the Wild that sustains us.

It’s time to remember our story. It’s time to remind ourselves of our connections to land, family and village. Are you ready to Remember?

The Remembering is a long-term theater and production project sponsored by Trackers Earth. Through the voices of diverse artists, it tells the story of a fictional culture in the not so distant future who's people have developed deep connections to the land the live.
