malum malus Burlesque: Lammas
August 8-10, 2024

The wheel of the year inspires Malum Malus, an occult burlesque Chantry of witches. Lammas, also known as Lughnasad, is a pagan holiday that marks the seasonal turning point halfway between the summer solstice (Litha) and the fall equinox (Mabon) and celebrates the harvest of grain and serves as a space for the Witches to prepare for Samhain. Transformation is on the horizon. Will you ascend to join the ranks of the Chantry?   

Curated by Blaise Ricin. Hosted by Agatha Trystie. Featuring performances by Blaise Ricin, Agatha Trystie, Sigh, Fig, Magpie, Mandy Mezcal, and Sunday Slaughter.
