LEGENDS OF THE COVEN
“Marie Laveau, H.P Blavatsky, Biddy Early, Maud Gonne. Just a few of the worlds 'witch women'. These women defied the cultural norms expected of them in their lifetimes in order to delve head-first into Earth's occult mysteries. Often misunderstood, each one gained notoriety and respect in their respective traditions, and forever altered the cultural mind-scape of humanity. Yet, most of these women inhabit a niche, obscure corner of our awareness.”
Legends of the Coven is a spine-tingling show that celebrates these women. Performed by spoken word artist/performer Abby Oliveira with video by Mel Bradley. It will utilise storytelling, spoken-word poetry, music, soundscape and visuals, to present historical accounts of (and fictional tales inspired by) the women of the world's mysteries.
