About:
One Night Only at Epiphany Arts Center!
In celebration of International Women’s Day, acclaimed choreographer and performer Nejla Yatkin presents a powerful, one-night- only performance of The Other Witch at Epiphany Arts Center in Chicago.
Inspired by Mary Wigman’s legendary Hexentanz, The Other Witch is a bold solo work that merges contemporary dance, ritual, video, original music, and text to reawaken the ancient figure of the witch as a symbol of feminine wisdom, power, and transformation. A multimedia, multilingual offering, the piece conjures a rich emotional world where ancestral echoes meet modern resistance.
Originally created as a three-part dance film during the pandemic, The Other Witch returns to the Epiphany in full live form. “On film, I could choreograph the eye,” Yatkin
shares. “But on stage, the witch breathes through me. The audience is not just watching, they are inside the spell.”
This one performance only offers a rare opportunity to experience Yatkin’s visceral, spellbinding embodiment of the witch archetype, fierce, untamed, and deeply human.
There will be a talk back with Q&A after the show with Scott Lundius, Executive Director of the Morrison Shearer Foundation and Nejla Yatkin
The night will conclude with a DJ and VJ set by Pat Michael and Enki Andrews
