Pas de Trois, or the Dancing Witch Play
By Aaliyah Warrington
It’s Summer. 1518. And the people of Strasbourg are…comfortable in their sanctimonious society.

When others follow suit and bodies begin to fall, Manon’s new neighbors become her witch hunters overnight. As her humanity is brought into question, Manon is forced to reckon with the reason she began dancing in the first place.
