The Innerwild Fables:
ECHO'S SOUL
Written by Georgie Castilla
inspired by a short story by Oscar Wilde
How far would your soul travel to save you from yourself?
Written by Georgie Castilla, this dark and hazy fairytale for grown-ups — loosely inspired by a short story by Oscar Wilde — unfolds as part of The Innerwild Fables.
When a humble fisherman named Echo falls in love with the beautiful son of the Sea-folk King, he casts his own Soul away in order to join his beloved at the bottom of the sea. Sent forth into a cold and merciless world, unguarded by the heart, the Soul begins a perilous journey to find its way home before it is too late.
A coming-of-middle-age fable about self-awareness and the bittersweet cost of growth, the piece features tour-de-force performances and strikingly visual storytelling, and ultimately poses a searching question: how far would your Soul travel to save you from yourself?
Stay tuned!
The Innerwild Fables is a series of dark fairytales for grown-ups by Georgie Castilla, set within a shared mythic universe that explores the inner wilderness of the Self through symbol and embodied metaphor. Each standalone play examines fractures, reckonings, and acts of self-recognition that shape who we become.
