Midwives' premieres "The Sarahs of Salem" Midwives' premieres "The Sarahs of Salem"
About This Event
Midwives, a rock/pop group with a small but traceable streaming footprint (14 Spotify followers), returns to the Knitting Factory to premiere "The Sarahs of Salem." Their recent work treats performance as narrative as much as sound, favoring structure and atmosphere and emphasizing pacing and ensemble interplay rather than spectacle.
About The Sarahs of Salem
At the Knitting Factory in New York City, Midwives present the premiere of “The Sarahs of Salem,” placing a rock/pop frame around a story that reads like an argument with history. The piece draws on the Salem witch trials as source material, less for period detail than for what the episode still reveals about social fear and collective judgment. In a city where premieres often test how old narratives land in the present, this one feels pointed. The music lets ambiguity stay intact instead of forcing a verdict.
