Performance storytelling by: Lucy Lill and Sarah Liisa Wilkinson

An utterly compelling night of storytelling by two fine artists, bringing the multifaceted goddess and symbol of duality, Hecate, to the fore; with passion, intensity, vivid imagery, and shards of humour. By turns, enchanting and enthralling, powerful and poetic, spellbinding and subverting.

What happens...
When the goddess of childbirth crosses her legs?
When you're bound above chaos with golden threads?
When the weight of your grief means you can't walk on?
When you're neither living or dead so you don't fit in?
When you're... stuck?

That's when you need Hecate: Queen Of Between, many-shaped and multi-tasking goddess of birth, death, witches, weasels, hellhounds, crossroads, thresholds, and ghosts.

Barking at her heels, Lucy Lill and Sarah Liisa Wilkinson take up their torches, jangle their keys and bring you stories of letting go, squeezing through and moving on.
