One of the best parts of being at PICA and having both of their huge and excellent spaces is exactly that – having two spaces, right next to each other. Without spoiling exactly what will happen, we are very excited that the Trash Witch Trio is up for blending those two spaces together. Their part of the evening is going to start as the mainstage show is getting out, a long site-specific element that will culminate with the beginning of the 10pm Late Night Showcase. Combining film-making, performance, and ritual, this piece is going to deal with some heavy themes in some very novel ways, and it could only happen in its full glory in this larger, multi-venue festival format.
Crimson Ravarra, Mychelle Moritz, and Megita Denton aka The Trash Witch Trio are three multi-media artists who intertwine the contemporary, movement, fine arts, and time based mediums to evoke powerful social reverberations. Megita’s textile work will also be on view until August as part of Oregon Contemporary’s Biennial.
Trash Witch Trio will be performing their piece “Brujas de Basura” as part of the Late Night Showcase event of our 2024 Festival of New Performance – June 22nd and 23rd, 10pm each night. (For the FULL experience, come to the 7pm mainstage event and stick around after!)
