In EnActe’s 2020-2021 year long Conservatory we will read and adapt The Jungle Book in the context of its origins, strip it of its colonial overtones and bring it back in all its raw essence – to the jungle where it was born!

Story, music, movement, choreography, masks, costumes and sounds of the jungle – our advanced theatre group will create all this with Master trainers!
