Seance Sisters

Wickert & Arbogast—Son of Warehouse

Part history, part magic act, part family drama, the Seance Sisters deliver an atmospheric Victorian Gothic immersive experience that bleeds beyond their stage. Their intensely spooky demeanour quickly silences even a rowdy weekend crowd.

The definitely-not-a-show features 19th century spiritualism techniques, light voluntary audience participation, and simmering sibling rivalry. After some moral quandaries regarding the fraudulent and exploitative nature of their craft, the sisters’ best trick is their unexpected themes of female agency, economic dependence, and escaping manipulative familial abuse.
