Riot King and Spindle Collective have come together to present SAMCA, a new site-specific horror musical like nothing else you’ve ever seen. Join us in the woods of Black Creek Pioneer Village and be transported back to 1800’s Romania to the most haunted forest in the world. Be sure to keep quiet cause these woods can hear you. With original music, dance, and an award winning script, this production is sure to creep down your spine and leave you with chills for the entire journey home!
SAMCA follows two sisters, Miha and Prava, as they come to terms with their sexuality, and the impact this has on their lives growing up in rural Romania in the late 1800’s. When the younger sister becomes pregnant following a sexual assault, the two are left to grapple with how this new-found motherhood changes their relationship. SAMCA explores how being a mother defines womanhood, and what happens when motherhood is thrust upon someone who does not want it. The audience is guided through the forest by the Zâne, spirits of the forest, to encounter different elements of the story climaxing in a horrifying, sensory nightmare!
The show opens on September 25th and runs until October 5th. Performances will be held on the North Property of Black Creek Pioneer Village (7060 Jane Street) and will begin at 7:30PM. The venue is a 10-15 minute walk south from Highway 407 TTC Station. There will be a SAMCA team member to meet patrons at the station until 7:15pm to guide everyone to the venue. Experience the final days of summer and get yourself ready for Halloween with this spooky, outdoor experience! With special thanks to the Canada Council for the Arts and the UWindsor Alumni Association, this team of award winning artists is not to be missed and SAMCA is their best work yet.
