WHEN YOUR LOVE SETS YOU ON FIRE
THREE PERFORMANCES only.
LIVE ONLINE.

Amber Bjork and Derek Lee Miller are telling the story of Bridget Cleary, "the last witch burning in Ireland" in their studio. Which used to be a garage. But is now a studio. And they have shadow puppets. There's some music and some history. It's all very light and casual. Until it isn't. A woman was murdered by her husband while nine people watched. Amber and Derek try to grapple with this horror all alone in their studio, with a live camera. They know you're out there. But sometimes, they forget.

CONTENT WARNING: this show depicts scenes of domestic abuse. This is a serious topic that has touched many lives, much like Bridget Cleary, the subject of this show. It isn't always easy to detect the signs of domestic violence in your own home or in others. No matter what the circumstances, if you are receiving abuse, it is never your fault. Do not hesitate to get help from friends, family, and authorities. If you do not feel comfortable reaching out to the police, there are several local organizations who can help.

• Battered Women's Justice Project: The national resource center on civil and criminal justice responses to intimate partner violence, headquartered in Minneapolis.
• Domestic Abuse Project of Minneapolis:  Since 1979, Domestic Abuse Project (DAP) has served the Twin Cities community with innovative and effective programming to end the inter-generational cycle of domestic violence. They have made it their mission to build communities free from violence by providing holistic healing for every member of the family.
• Know your rights and resources as a victim of domestic abuse, from Office of the Minnesota Attorney General 
• Hennepin County Domestic Abuse Service
• NCADV: The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV)'s mission is to lead, mobilize and raise our voices to support efforts that demand a change of conditions that lead to domestic violence such as patriarchy, privilege, racism, sexism, and classism. We are dedicated to supporting survivors and holding offenders accountable and supporting advocates.
