About the show
Bog Witch is an eighty-minute theatre show from performance artist Bryony Kimmings, presented by Avalon and Tellus Studio at Traverse 1. The show follows part of Kimmings' real-life story: uprooting her and her son's lives to live in a tumbledown cottage in the wilderness, in a last-ditch attempt to be happy and sane. Blending comedy and storytelling, it is a personal reckoning with nature and modern life. The show carries warnings for strobe lighting, discussion of miscarriage and animal death, mental health themes and audience interaction. Suitable for ages 14 and above.
Why see this show?
A deeply personal piece from a bold performance artist — part comedy, part wilderness survival story, part reckoning with sanity and the natural world. Thoughtful and human, with a sharp theatrical wit.
