Description
'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.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

I loved the connection between past and present, horror and history, and the exploration of how such a momentous event has been distorted by the people who don't want us to celebrate it. Lighting and sound were fantastic, and the acting was captivating! I would say this is a must-see at the fringe this year.

Excellent show presented by a very talented group of young people.
I knew very little about the history of Haiti but will certainly make a point of learning more.

Talented actors delivering historical information. Didn’t quite impress me as much as the previous reviewer.

One of the most fantastic shows I've seen. Incredible use of lighting and space, and a beautiful weaving of the past with the present. I was completely blown away. Definitely a must-see for the Fringe.
