Bedlam Theatre

The Infiammati Fire Circus flame-filled spectacle  returns to the Bedlam for its forth season, bigger and better than ever.  Bedlam Associate Artistic Director and Infiammati creator Rah Kojis teams up with award-winning Vox Medusa choreographer Kristin Freya and the Northern Lighters Pyrotechnics’ fireworks impresarios to create Persephone: Reign of Fire.

Reign of Fire tells the story of an innocent maiden’s journey to the underworld, her rise to power as queen and her incandescent return to the living as harbinger of spring. As the seasons cycle, she encounters mythical beasts and creatures ablaze. Fire whips, fans, wings, palms, costume and set pieces light the way.

Telling a classic story in a new, unique and stunning form, the performance overflows with theatre, dance, fireworks displays, aerial arts, acro-stilting, shadow puppetry, video projection and a live musical score by Naomi Joy and Asylum Soundsystem.  Persephone’s pageant delights as darkness falls.
