\n\n An inaugural recipient of a Doris Duke Performing A rtist Award (2012)\, Rinde Eckert has built a dynamic theatrical logic tha t is fiercely interdisciplinary. The Grammy Award-winning musician\, write r\, composer\, librettist\, and director will perform the world premiere o f a new work developed during his residency at Wesleyan. The Last Days of the Old Wild Boy is about a man raised by wolves who finds himself toward the end of his life at the top of the food chain. Powerful and erudite\, h e longs for a return to the wildness of the wolf he was--but how does one recover one's original\, less conditioned or acculturated self? What is ga ined in the effort? What is lost in translation? This work is commissioned by the Center for the Arts\, and is made possible by the Creative Campus Initiative and leadership support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
