Somewhere, a boy tests speakers in an empty theatre.
Somewhere, a professor delivers his final lecture.
Somewhere, a wolf prowls and claws at the dark.

Once upon a time, there was a knife. But this story is not about the knife. It is about the wound.

A love letter to imperfect victims everywhere, “how the wolf says goodnight” is part sound collage, part performance lecture, and part dissociative episode live onstage. It explores cycles of trauma within queer relationships, the psychology of folktales, and what it is to live in the “after.”
