MICF: Paul Bourke, Vladimir the Crow – Whispering Ghoul

A dark, yet strangely funny play about our innate desire to connect with others.

Paul Bourke at MICF

After opening a portal to another world where darkness rules, the audience are drawn into Vladimir’s loneliness and eccentric nature over the course of the show. A lost creature who craves approval and attention, the audience become a part of the show whether they like it or not. Bourke has an incredible physical, clown-like presence on stage and his childlike performance evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity.

Deviating from the usual comedy festival fare, this is a surreal and fascinating horror story that will stick with you for days afterwards.
