Deforestation and natural disasters surround the mystery of the Wild Man.

Third year Theatre students at Victoria University of Wellington are staging a performance that provokes a gripping realisation that the world only has a limited amount of resources. With current trends, future generations will be left to deal with the environmental issues that have been caused by mass deforestation. The performance draws attention to the cultural and environmetnal issues that are caused by deforestation.
“The environment in China is already a catastrophe as they face enormous environmental challenges”
