Magic War

Magic War invited audiences into the session of a secret society. You were invited to the bizarre ritual, but could one trust one’s own eyes? All is clearly not as it seems.

This was a strange and fantastical world of nightmarish tricks, where the burlesquing of violent battles initiate you into a dark and deceptive new world order.

Would you dare put your hand in a guillotine? Could you watch your lover get chopped in half? Bringing to life a golden age of magic within today’s culture of violence. With thrilling visual illusions and dark humour, Magic War questioned our survival strategies and beliefs.
