The dead are not your tools
The stories of spirits, jinns, ghosts and other worldly beings hold a strong importance in our culture. These stories will be re-explored and retold in a new digitally immersive performance project. “Necromancy for Beginners” hopes to take the audience on a journey between the worlds of the living and the non-living.
