SUMMARY:The Witch Project
DESCRIPTION:Are you a good witch\, or a bad witch? \nClick your heels and step into The Witch Project — a spellbinding love letter dressed up as a ritual\, tracing one queer man’s obsession with a pair of ruby slippers\, and the man who rescued them from oblivion. Drawing connections between centuries of persecution and desire — from the witch trials to the AIDS crisis — the play asks what we owe the dead\, and what they leave behind for us to find. \nPart performance art\, part detective story\, part concert featuring the music of queer icons\, The Witch Project invites you into a world where memory\, myth\, and longing collide. Amidst the darkness we’re living through\, will spells save us? Is art enough? \nWritten + Performed by Alex Benjamin\nExecutive Produced by Maggie Meiners + Matt Meiners\nProduction management by Sarah Skaggs \nRunning time: Approximately 1 hour with no intermission \nDeveloped in part during residency at Ragdale Foundation. Influenced in its original production by core collaborators Sarah Skaggs\, Lucy Wirtz\, and Derek Elliott.\nPoster design by Emily Bieniek\, inspired by Silence = Death and the AIDS activist movement. Image not for resale.\nUsed by permission of ACT UP New York (actupny.com). \nProceeds benefit AIDS Foundation Chicago and ACT UP. \nRecommended for ages 13+
