The Witches
This triptych of world premieres was inspired by one of Jersey’s darkest chapters—the island’s historical witch trials. This triple bill featuring work from three cutting-edge voices in the global choreographic scene unearths stories of fear, persecution, and resilience, bringing the past to life through abstract narrative.

More Information
Between the 16th and 18th centuries, witchcraft accusations in Jersey led to trials, imprisonments, and executions—fueled by fear, superstition, and shifting power. Though distant, these events echo today in modern "witch hunts": public shaming, identity policing, and attacks on autonomy. The impulse to scapegoat and silence still thrives. At its core, a witch hunt challenges our sense of right and wrong, justice and morality. Who decides truth? Who holds power? How easily are we swayed? La Hougue Bie—an ancient Neolithic site layered with centuries of ritual, myth, and belief—offers a powerful setting to reflect on these enduring questions and the forces that shape society.
