Featuring Sasha Cuha

8pm Friday 5 August at the Maldon Vintage Machinery and Museum

​

Australia's dark prince of Gothic poetry presents SVETOZA! Based on a folktale told about his great great grandfather, SVETOZA! Is a unique, immersive, storytelling experience blending Serbian epic poetry and folk horror into an atmospheric performance guaranteed to take you to the depths of the Old Country and resurrect a horror long forgotten by the East and unknown to the West.

When Raija inherits his father's farm, celebration soon turns to terror as a litany of misfortune begins to make him think that nothing is quite as it seems. What happened to all the livestock? Why will nothing grow? And what screams in the depths of the night?

 

Known for his atmospheric and theatrical performances, Sasha Cuha redefines tradition by adding modern acoustic-electric instruments to an ancient, Bardic form of performance with elements of traditional Balkan magick.

SVETOZA! Will be performed on the outdoor stage at the Maldon Vintage Machinery Museum and with wood fires to keep the audience warm, as his words chill their bones. This performance is FREE and suitable for all ages.
