Where did these fairytale characters come from? The witches that fly on broomsticks. Why do they have a black cat? Have they always been dressed in pointy hats and made potions in cauldrons?
Through their work, the artists recount the little-known history of witches. From antiquity to the present day, we will learn about the most famous witches of the West and their representations: Circe, Medea, the three witch sisters of Macbeth, the witches of Salem or the Baba Yaga, etc.
