Company of Wolves is a Glasgow based physical theatre company founded in 2012 by co-artistic directors Ewan Downie and Anna Porubcansky. To date they have produced and toured four productions and run a regular workshop programme in the UK and abroad for professional artists, youth, and community members. In 2013 they were named Associate Company of Conflux, a Glasgow based project that develop street arts, physical theatre and circus in Scotland and are Company in Residence at Woodend Barn, a multi media arts centre in Banchory.
Their work investigates the boundaries of human experience through a rigorous use of body, voice, imagination, text, song, movement, and image and is developed with support from Creative Scotland, Woodend Barn, Platform, and CCA (Centre for Contemporary Arts).
Their latest production, A Brief History of Evil has been created and performed by Ewan Downie and Jonathan Peck and is described as “ A duet about the lies we tell each other, and ourselves.”
In 45 minutes, Downie and Peck whirl words and movement across the gamut of what it is to engage in relationships with others as well as with oneself. Using intense physicality and engagement they expose the delusion of manners and convention and the results of letting masks fall.
