The Butterfly’s Evil Spell

Adapted from the play by Federico Garcia Lorca

Developed by the Ensemble

Music by Jeremy Douglass

May 7 – Jun. 1, 2025

Shimberg Playhouse, Straz Center

Devised in Jobsite’s captivating style as expressed in Shockheaded PeterGorey Stories, and Jobsite’s Alice, this imaginative English-language adaptation of Federico Garcia Lorca’s first play (El Maleficio de la Mariposa) fuses live music, visual art, puppetry, theater magic, and aerial and circus arts into thrilling theatrical experience. Lorca’s mystically poetic world of beetles, fireflies, and other magical creatures is disrupted when a hypnotic, wounded butterfly enters their dewdrop paradise. A young beetle is cast under a love spell, but a hungry scorpion is sure to shake things up in this timeless tale of beauty and desire.

Originally planned for the current 25th Season, this show was postponed due to a perfect storm of challenges and is now returning in a reimagined format.
