A musical performance that relives the atrocities that women were subjected to during the witchcraft trials of the seventeenth century that changed the world.
The story is set in the city of Aalborg in the early seventeenth century, where witch hunts in Denmark were reaching their peak. Noblewoman Christenze Kruckow, who has previously narrowly escaped such horror on the island of Funen, now stands accused along with six other women and is sentenced to death for witchcraft. Everyday magic has been banned and persecution has set in. King Christian IV himself incited the use of violent methods of torture used to force confessions from women. But who were these women? What devilish acts were they convicted of? And what did Christenze use a wax doll for?
Since these times, witches and wise women have been considered a threat to our perception of society as a place where mankind is above nature. By rethinking the past, can we gain the necessary insights to change our behaviour toward nature before it is too late?
In Witch the stories of the women are told with song and live music, adding melody to the ancient magical verses and rhymes, and giving voice to the writings of the witches themselves. As an elixir of life and a tribute to beauty and rebellion, the melodies and rhymes of the play forge a connection to a bygone era when madness ruled the day.
