About CRY WOLF

This 80-minute interactive experience seamlessly blends game show excitement, theatrical magic, and dance artistry. Drawing inspiration from "The Price is Right" and the theatrical magic of Derren Brown, the show explores themes of identity, truth, deception, and the power of authoring our own stories.
