About the Project
Back at Hollywood Fringe for a few nights only—after electrifying runs at Edinburgh, Adelaide, and Brighton Fringe—Medicine Woman, winner of the Best International Show at Hollywood Fringe 2024 (and recipient of the Adelaide and Italia Tour Ready Awards), returns to where it all began!
Veronica Osorio (Coen Bros., Soderbergh, CBS, Netflix, UCB Theater, The Elysian) is Medicine Woman, a sexy, sassy Venezuelan shamanic clown.
Medicine Woman, a mysterious healer from Venezuela, is in town to conduct a shamanic healing ritual and heal whomever comes her way. The medicine she provides is never the same and depends on the night and the audience—she might be an entity, a character, a dance, juggling, a tarot card, kiss—until the audience is healed. Is this Venezuelan stranger a healer who holds the secrets of the universe, or is she a little rascal just trying to steal kisses from gorgeous strangers? And does it matter? Once you’re healed, you will understand that matter doesn’t really matter.
Clown, characters, part circus, part shamanic healing ritual—this is a total night out with your Venezuelan best friend who’s gone through a lot of dumb bitch shit and is, henceforth, qualified to heal you. Every night will be different, but with Medicine Woman being a Latina lover, there will always be sexiness and falling mutually in love… that is, until she leaves for the next town. Enjoy her while you can. Medicine Woman is guaranteed to be a different show every single time.
The Medicine Woman show is as profound and sacred as it is silly and profane.
Getting the audience under her sway is part and parcel of Osorio’s charm -StageRaw
