Crucibulum Infidelium
by Brian Steimel and Raymond Masters The Salem Witch Trials inspire "Crucibulum Infidelium." Using spoken word, sound, music, puppets, and movement we aim to illustrate persecutions produced by the conflict between belief and fact. Moral conviction extrapolated out of natural phenomena impels action but does not compel justice. |
