Synopsis

The Magic Hour is a solo multidisciplinary performance spell that uses magic to investigate sexual violence, trauma and transformation. Working with traditions and practices of magic ranging from ancestral sacred charms to top-hat-and-rabbit illusions, the work presses the boundaries of public and private, hidden and revealed, to make visible what is not seen. The Magic Hour proposes a radical healing through the ritual of theatre by creating expansive acts that alter the meaning of materials and memories, and enacting power through invocation, repetition, witnessing and participation.
