A full-scale Fringe Festival production, with witches, warped film and a live soundtrack performance, set in an industrial theatre of the macabre.
Introduced on stage by an otherworldly messenger, this unique hybrid show, presented a radically rearranged version of the 1922 silent film ‘Häxan: Witchcraft through the Ages’ at the 2012 Melbourne Fringe Festival. Stunning early cinema scenes of witches and cunning folk from medieval period were transformed into an absurdist black comedy with modern-day relevance. The live theatre/film screening was accompanied by a live performance of the new score for the full season of shows at Melbourne’s once-infamous Revolt Artspace, which has since, sadly ceased to exist.
Giosuè created music, script, set design for ‘The Häxan Curse’, which was a visually and sonically intense experimental art concept that thematically looked to reimagine and examine recurring societal themes replayed over the generations.
