Wild Child In The City is Tjasa Ferme’s third one-woman show to date. A native of the culture-rich city of Ljubljana, a capital of Slovenia, Tjasa has moved to the United States as an adult, successful in her field but hungry for more. In her newest work, the writer-performer recalls many bizarre incidents that happened to her in roughly twenty-five different apartments she has been living in New York over the past seven years.  Ferme – who’s writing was described by a NYC’s critic “nothing short of brilliant”– combines her European sensibility and Kafkaesque sense of irony with down-to-earth toughness of a New York single girl who’s seen it all.

Wild Child In The City marks Tjasa’s first collaboration with the award-winning director Ana Margineanu, who shares her European roots, the ironic sense of humor, penchant for the unpredictable, and process-driven approach to creating work.

Part dark comedy, part rant with a strong feminist twist, part immersive theater experience, Wild Child In The City proves with grit and wit that in New York City, the truth is often much stranger than fiction.
