Piercing the Veil: A Samhain Celebration

Piercing the Veil is a musical and theatrical exploration of the Celtic origins of Halloween. Directed by Štěpán Šimek, written and performed Briana Ratterman Trevithick, and featuring the music of Musica Universalis and the puppetry of Kettlehead Studios, the show weaves together a tapestry of stories from the vast body of Irish mythology reenacted by original puppets with music, songs, and poetry.

Piercing the Veil ran for two sold-out weeks in October 2023.
