The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Told through song, audience interaction and aerial dance, Dreya Weber’s solo show, Hexen, weaves the narratives of three women representing witch archetypes. The Crone, a healer living in the forest. The Bewitcher, a temptress with a destructive affinity for the dark and absurd. And the Daughter, who searches for wisdom from her forebearers. Part historical account, ancestral legacy and imaginative fancy, Hexen explores the demonization of women, the power of reclaiming ancestry, and the honoring of the mystical. Sparked by her mother’s search for familial roots, Dreya dove into the history of European witch hunts of the 1600s. What she learned inspired the writing of Hexen. Weber seamlessly morphs between characters as she travels through the generational journey of Hexen, culminating in a new understanding of her strength, freedoms and self-determination.
Original music by Weber with recordings of Mahler and Dvorak sung by Jenny Trier.
