Performane After burn 

Residency at Hi-Lo, Vlieland (2025) 


For our project through the Noordenaars, Artist in Space programme, we researched folklore stories from the Wadden region. 
During our time on Vlieland, we came into contact with a modern witch. She showed us her practice and explained that the circle 
is an important shape for her during her rituals. It symbolises safety, connection, protection, the cycle of life and femininity.
In a performance inspired by her story, we found support in one another within a circle of fire. In it, we memorialised all the witches, 
and those unconventional characters who were persecuted during the witch hunts.
