A Will’o’wisp Encounter: as Presented to the Council of Mythical and Magical Creatures is a funny and moving concert theater experience about grief, magic, and the strange things that find us when we are lost.
Presented as a formal report to the Council on Mythical and Magical Creatures, Camille Harris (writer and actor) recounts her encounter with a will o’ the wisp while staying alone in the mountains of Colorado during a difficult chapter of her life. The audience serves as the council itself, taking on roles, singing along, and helping guide the story as the presentation hall transforms into a mountain cabin, an aspen forest, and the glowing blue world of the will o’ the wisp.
Camille uses live synthesizers, looping, audience participation, and original music to create a funny, sad and immersive performance. Expect a concert, a play, a myth, and a ritual.
Content Warning: grief, loss
