Heartache.Heartbreak. Created in
February 2012
An on-going gift of work by Bryony Kimmings. Heartache, Heartbreak is an
endless letter to lost loves across the world.
Begun in Portugal as part of a Forest Fringe residency, this durational work seeks to
eradicate loneliness, love pains and stupid tears by turning heartache and heartbreak into objects of ridicule.
Kimmings landed in Shepherds Bush and asked its residents for cures for heartache. Connecting to the psyche of
an area, asking its community for soul soup and stories, Kimmings then creates small pieces of performance for
those who help her. Each evening these are played out like a jukebox of agony aunt solutions, old wives'
tales and straight talking slaps.
This show is for anyone whose ever cried into soup alone, banged down
doors or grasped at their chest in the night. Quick witted, endlessly chatted and oh so totally true… join
Kimmings as she fights heartache and laughs right at love!
