Incantation Ploy
Theater / Performance
Mesmerizing and thought-provoking, 'The Incantation Ploy' seamlessly blends fate, prophecy, and diverse eras, immersing us in a world where possession blurs with control.
In a speculative-future setting, the play delves into the convergence of narratives and chaos. Modern figures merge with mystical archetypes, resulting in a multi-layered experience that intertwines poetics, fake news, and sci-fi.
Themes of narrative power and enchantment converge, influenced by Sara Ahmed's suppression through happiness narratives and Sylvia Federici's de-enchantment in early capitalism. This exploration transforms the magical body into a mechanized automaton, urging us to embrace the uncanny in our existence.
Director and Script - Carly Heathcote
Art Direction and Sound Dramaturgy - Manuela Vilanova
Performed by - Anna Franziska Jäger and Musia Mwankumi
Sound Design - Lila Tirando a Violeta
