“The Healer. The Volatile. The Psychopomp. The Dealmaker. The Diviner.

Where the Great Woods caress the edge of the Great Sea, five witches meet.

Five seemingly parallel paths, timelines, destinies–

–intersect, encounter, interlace…”


Through a focus on cultural tropes of witches, Malefica explores the scapegoating of women and gender nonconforming people and the oppression of their bodies in contemporary culture.This work explores our casts’ ancestral ties to the Salem Witch Trials, Afro Caribbean-diasporic Spiritualism, and Eastern European/Slavic folktales through devised theatrical character studies and imaginative world-building. Experience an evening with detritus dance, featuring performers Claire Lane, Caroline Bradbury, Gabriela M. Amy-Moreno, Marcel Santiago Marcelino, and Laila J. Franklin.


Thank you to The Somerville Arts Council and Mass Cultural Council for funding this performance.
