Witching is an ode to the mysterious, fierce and magical creatures; women.

The piece is a dialogue between the body, the voice, the electronic soundscape and the material as manifestations of different feminine archetypes retelling their story, and reclaiming their identity as wise, strong and resourceful. These archetypes are inspired by Greek mythology’s goddesses, mediaeval witches, and contemporary women warriors fighting for their rights. Starting from investigating how thousands of years of history have been inscribed on the body, the piece aims to offer a poetic and ultimately cathartic experience of the female body as a sacred place.

Concept / Choreography / Performer: Iris Athanasiadi @iris_ath
Scenography: Olga Ntenta @olgantenta

Setting the scenography for the Iris Trio concert in a black box with a stripped-back lighting console, while exploring core ideas of Performing Materialities; creating with minimal available materials can be extremely effective.

Share your thoughts 🦄💜🌈
