4811 SE Hawthorne‘Deep in the the darkest swampland wastes
Where the strongest stumble and the brave make haste
Down an unmarked trail over unpaved ground
Stands the half-sunk wagons of Bogville townWhere music hangs wet on the sultry air
And hobs line the culverts hawking their wares
But just nine out of ten make trip back home
Who sample the wonders of Bogville alone’Soon, the name of Bogville will be on the tips of Porland’s finest
tongues. Tribal steam enchantress NagaSita, renowned in darker
circles as a dancer and choreographer for Serpentine, has gathered a
patchwork tribe of mystics and malcontents to build a new theatrical
world for Portland audiences to explore.The family of artists who make up the denizens of Bogville are hard at
work building new stages, costumes, sets, and lighting rigs even as
you read this announcement. By showtime, they’ll have transformed the
humble confines of The Mt Tabor Theater into a magical moldering
marketplace; an immersive environment where the enigmatic mythopoeic
lives of Bogville play out in song and ritual.During their storied careers, these veterans of the stage may have
caught your eye under the banners of Water in the Desert, Societas
Insomnia, East Meets West, Soriah, The Wanderlust Circus, The Hobo
Gobbelins, The Squidling Brothers, Power Circus, The Red King, Batty’s
Hippodrome, The Balkan Fusion Project, Cult of Zir, Cabaret Babylon,
Mirror Milk, Nequaquam Vacuum, Exquisite Corps, and countless other
troupes and associations. Before and after the show; our merchants
offer unique clothing, jewelry, books, music, and other souveneirs of
your stay in Bogville.With Special Musical Guests
