I'm a Phoenix, Bitch – Perth Festival

I'm a Phoenix, Bitch
Bryony Kimmings

"Imagine a metaphysical glitter cannon of trauma being fired straight at your chest." - Time Out

Combining personal stories with epic film and original pop songs, I’m a Phoenix, Bitch is a mythical legend performed straight from a heart still pulsing with pain.

In 2016 UK performance maker Bryony Kimmings nearly drowned. Postnatal breakdowns, an imploding relationship and an extremely sick child left her sitting beneath the waves hoping she could slowly turn to shell. Four years later and she is able to deal with life again, but wears the scars of that year like a dark and heavy cloak.

I’m a Phoenix, Bitch is a show about motherhood, heartbreak and finding inner strength – a powerful, dark and joyous one-woman tour-de-force.
