The Obsessors – Exorcism Show

Step into the outrageous, ritualistic and sharply funny world of The Obsessors – the latest creation by Roma queer artist Thais Di Marco (BIXARIA). In this avant-premiere at Melkweg, the theatre becomes a space of exorcism, where three mediums offer live spiritual cleanses to purge today’s invisible demons: burnout, clout-chasing, purposelessness and performance pressure.

Rooted in the Brazilian Umbanda ritual of desobsessão, The Obsessors reimagines spiritual cleansing as a popular performance – one that casts out the ghosts haunting not only individuals, but institutions too. What if your desire isn't truly yours? And what must we release to reclaim joy, meaning and connection?

Thais Di Marco is known for fusing critical comedy with spiritual satire, inviting audiences into a world that’s equal parts ritual and rebellion. With The Obsessors, they present an explosive blend of queerness, humour and healing that dismantles dominant frameworks while making space for grief, reflection, and transformation.
