Satanic Panic: An Immersive Evening of Paranoia & Power
Was a generation being preconditioned for devil worship through heavy metal music and He-Man?! When those lyrics are chanting out DO IT DO IT DO IT…what was IT? Drugs…sex…MURDER?! In a time of deep social upheaval, paranoia was paramount! Remember the power that misunderstanding and moral panic holds to destroy lives; think of the West Memphis Three, the San Antonio Four, the McMartin School Trial, widespread censorship, mishandled investigations, beware thy neighbor, and media fueled fear. Is the devil at work or is it just mankind’s way?
On Friday the 13th, the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse will usher in a Grand Guignol-style event in the heart of the Chicago Loop. For one night, the SAIC MacLean Ballroom will transform into an occult ritual space showcasing the Seven Seals of the Apocalypse. Whether you are for or against, or simply a morbid curiosity seeker, this night welcomes you to confront this moral binary of good versus evil.
Allow yourself to be lured into an immersive evening of entertainment that brings together over 40 visual artists, vendors, burlesque, circus, performance artists from across the country who have created pieces that touch on the 1980s-90s cultural phenomenon of Satanic Panic.
