A new experiment in performance from Katie Mitchell, Nina Segal and Melanie Wilson. Using only sound and no words, a quartet of performers and Foley artists evoke the lives of two animals – a cow and a deer.

Wind in tall trees. White sky. Rain soon. Hooves on earth. Twigs. Snap. Wait. Listen.

A new experiment in performance from Katie Mitchell, Nina Segal and Melanie Wilson. Using only sound and no words, a quartet of performers and Foley artists evoke the lives of two animals – a cow and a deer.

Cow | Deer is an invitation to enter the more-than-human world.

Co-created by Katie Mitchell (Bluets, Anatomy of a Suicide), Nina Segal (Shooting Hedda Gabler, Big Guns) and Melanie Wilson (Oracle Song, Opera for the Unknown Woman).

This edition was published to coincide with the National Theatre of Greece and Royal Court Theatre co-production in September 2025.
