coven

[coven] was Apartment 20's first real experiment in devising work that is led by soundscape and organic musicality. It was an exploration of the end of the world, as told through the stories of the granddaughters of the witches society wasn't able to burn. This piece is inspired by the “witches” in our lives. Whether it be your mother or a pop culture icon, [coven] explores how the descendants of those women find the power in themselves and each other to use verse to build a home, in a place where nothing is left. [coven] was a workshop to investigate what a stage adaptation of an epic poem might look like. Poetry was commissioned for the project and written by Val Dunn.
