The Exorcist

0 upcoming performances in New York

At Moving Image Exhibitions, *The Exorcist* is presented as an exhibition that treats “exorcism” less as horror shorthand than as a cross-cultural practice of removal and repair. The program draws on the work of Jim Henson, Yuri Norstein, Lu Yang, and Todd Haynes, placing animation, performance, and moving-image art in conversation around belief, possession, and the policing of bodies. A New York–based presentation gives this theme local weight, in a city where ritual and skepticism routinely share the same block. The curatorial choice to frame exorcism as technique, not spectacle, is the most telling gesture.
