THE HUNTER & THE BLEAK

A NOVEMBERFEST PERFORMANCE

A unique poetry / magic show hybrid from Tim Bromage, a PEILOT artist 2017 at Chapter in Cardiff. Drawing inspiration from folklore and mythology, the work explores truth, process, and FATE. Its not all doom and gloom though, along the way theres alternate realities, some rousing tunes, and the world famous bag and egg trick.

"The vehicle sat on the red bock driveway, squat and sullen. The ritual should have been simple... but there was so much he did not know, he had not observed it for so long, and now fear, coupled with a sense of obligation had led to an unexpected cry for help. After all you heard horror stories, heard of those moments when a vehicle died with no warning, at eighty mile an hour out on the great tarmac. One moment hurtling forward, and then... nothing. Not a whisper, nor cough. Coasting mockingly to a halt, never to move again

From The Driver by Gordon Lang 1945
