Kasha Potrohosh turns to studies of old folk recipes or incantations, containing a heavy, morbid misogynistic narrative, which the author eventually transforms into feminist curses. Black magic thus becomes a tool that has the ambitious goal of "burning down" patriarchy and toxic systems, the exploitation of man and nature.

The performance works with symbolism, charms and rituals, natural elements that are connected to the folk heritage to give the audience a sense of connection with traditions. However, Kasha does not understand magic only as a form of mysticism, but as a means of expressing criticism and resistance to violence.

While working with symbolism and energy related to folk culture, the author creates a stage situation in which she focuses on issues of safety, respect and equality in the domestic and public environment. Through his own shouting and singing, he expresses pain and manifests respectful suggestions to the public.
