Snake Oil Medicine Show
About the Show
At the crossroads, you encounter a strange man with an expansive selection of wares, the one and only Dr. Magnus Bombastus!
Step right up and see his legendary Snake Oil Medicine Show –
a dazzling display of potions, elixirs, and remedies for all that ails you.
From mysterious tonics to magical cures, every bottle holds a touch of enchantment. Whether you’re seeking a spark of vitality or the answer to life’s little woes, the good doctor has just the potion for you! Experience the wonder, charm, and alchemical artistry he brings to life.
This is interactive performance art that asks "How are you feeling and how would you like to be feeling?" and through the power of psychosomatic suggestion, scent, memory, charms, gadgets and gizmos and dialogue attempts to facilitate changing perspectives.
A case folds out impossibly to an elaborate portable stage showcasing different tools and kits ranging from: Famous Snake Oil Tinctures, perspective aligners (Kaleidoscopes), to charms. This plays especially well with participants undergoing an altered adventure and has led to fascinating and moving experiences.
