Four witch-like figu­res set off on a jour­ney through a dark forest. They are armed with absur­di­ty, ris­ky int­ui­ti­on, and lucid dreams. There is an intoxi­ca­ting, warm wind that makes the trees move like sna­kes. The forest trans­forms into a stran­ge mir­ro­red lands­ca­pe that absorbs them, as if they had always been part of it. It is a pla­ce out­si­de of time, whe­re magic and logic meet and whe­re the per­so­nal and the col­lec­ti­ve intertwine.

Under Your Spell is a play­ful and phy­si­cal per­for­man­ce that invi­tes the audien­ce to dis­co­ver the dif­fe­rent lay­ers of femi­ni­ni­ty and expe­rien­ce the power of ima­gi­na­ti­on as a dri­ving for­ce for chan­ge. In their quest, the per­for­mers try to chal­len­ge the idea of ​‘first see­ing then belie­ving’ by some­ti­mes acti­ve­ly belie­ving in some­thing that they can­not (yet) see.

Under Your Spell is an ode to not kno­wing, to daring to doubt and explo­ring new paths. It is both an attempt to cast off the spell that holds us under its grip and a cri­ti­cal reflec­ti­on on the spells that we cast upon ourselves.
