The creation of WOW was prompted by the thought of what it would be like to make something that was entirely sincere without a hint of irony or trying to be clever.

It is no laughing matter that cynicism and scorn have seeped into our bones. Our good hearts desire more, but we are made powerless by puns, and our powerlessness is what we feel instead of the gravity of our situation. Meanwhile people go missing, guns go off, resources are hoarded, and the world heats up – What is our sincerely held hope for each other, for the whole planet? 

In a dramatic act of sincerity WOW deploys a panoply of performance devices – pantomime, musical theatrics, back-up dancing, faux pas-de-deux – set to songs by Kate Bush (performed live by Matthew Brookshire and the company) to protest its case.

Bring in the clowns! Love is all there is! – Keely Garfield
