    'Our modern life was built on the backs of the oppressed – if they were to demand repayment, would you be afraid?'

    In 1791, a voodoo ceremony begins the Haitian Revolution to end enslavement on the island. In the present, a man is haunted by ghosts in his city.

     

    From the creators of the highly acclaimed SPLINTERED (★★★★★ (Guardian)), BOGEYMAN is a ghost story that playfully combines music, movement and history in the ultimate underdog story of resistance against the oppressor. Powerful, moving and ultimately uplifting, BOGEYMAN is a thrilling, genre-defying tale of hope, rebellion and connection.

    "A fantastic night of festivity and foolery"
    The Guardian (for SPLINTERED)
    "An explosion of a show"
    The Stage (for SPLINTERED)
    "Joy, discovery, celebration and pain all together"
    Evening Standard (for SPLINTERED)

    "The seed commission has made me feel supported, not just as an artist but also a woman of colour whose story needs to be heard."
