Young American dancer Susie Bannion arrives in 1970s Berlin to audition for the world-renowned Helena Markos Dance Company. When she vaults to the role of lead dancer, the woman she replaces breaks down and accuses the company’s female directors of witchcraft. Meanwhile, an inquisitive psychotherapist and a member of the troupe uncover dark and sinister secrets as they probe the depths of the studio’s hidden underground chambers.

Let’s give our souls to the dance and let mother take care of us. On October 30th, we are screening Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria, a film that was horribly underappreciated when it came out 6 years ago. Now we shall reclaim it, together as a queer coven at the Paradise!

The night will kick off with a performance on stage from the one and only Allysin Chains, and dress code is witch (we’re a coven after all, though we are open to any and all interpretations of the theme). As well, this gorgeous poster created by Anthony Campbell will be available for sale at the screening. – PETER KNEGT
