Panel discussion: Witch! – on the stage and screen

Suspiria23

About the witch, prominent female figures, and how the ritual is linked to choreography, dance and the performing arts.

In Pix on Art at Dansens Hus, feature films and documentaries are shown that all deal with dance and performativity, feminism, the alternative and the supernatural. The witch stands out as a feminist symbol - a figure for resistance that counters masculine power structures and the patriarchy. With their association with sorcery, ritual and the supernatural, the depiction of witches often touches on the monstrous, mysterious and unknown. Witchcraft is linked to the body and the ritual, aspects that are also leading within performing arts and various forms of dance practice.

Moderator is film promoter and cultural critic Helene Aalborg. The panel includes dance artist Marie Ursin, stage artist Trine Falch, and film director Itonje Guttormsen.
