Hex, Hex – Ein Fest zwischen Zauber- und Widerspruch

Witchcraft and magic are everywhere right now: films like »Wicked« and »Practical Magic 2« are captivating audiences at the cinema, »witchfluencers« are popping up in our social media feeds, and the different genres of literature are filled with spellcasting and incantations like never before. Increasingly viewed as a source of empowerment, the revival of witchcraft is interpreted in various ways: sometimes dismissed as esoteric superstition, sometimes examined as a historical crime, but above all celebrated as a means of liberation for women and marginalized groups. This Halloween, we invite you to explore the diverse meanings of witchcraft in literature. You can look forward to essays, comics, novels, tarot cards, spells, and a touch of magic. Let’s banish spirits together! Or perhaps summon them?

Bring your witchy gear! Pack a small magical object to swap with other visitors during the breaks, and you’ll receive a discounted admission price of €6.
