Something from Slovakia again. SHŠ Sirius and their performances "God's Court - Boží súd" from the castles of Čachtice and Orava.
He would have to be a damned good swordsman to take her head off without striking the blade against the stocks. Not impossible, but not much more realistic than the sword and block beheading so often seen in movies that would never have happened in real life.
 
Castle Tocnik - Medieval witch torture
SHŠ Gotika from Plzeň (CZ), from whose performance there is also a video with the beginning of this thread. Their witch interrogation performance with two different actresses. Let me know which one you like better. Enjoy it :)

wow, I vote for the the first one :)
 
How many groups so many different views. In the pictures SDŠ Argyll (SK) with the performance "Confused - Pomätená". Just a pity the girl is not barefoot. It's always nice and in my opinion more realistic when she is condemned barefoot. But the performance is fine.

I am looking for medieval fairs or renaissance festivals that would offer me the opportunity to suffer real public punishment, like being sentenced to the public pillory, stocks or even public whipping post or ducking stool type punishment. Anyone know of such a place? That is a medieval renaissance festival?

AnAs yone know of such a place? That is a medieval renaissance festival?
At the Lompoc Renfaire in 2017, I was arrested and convicted as a Common Lift, or shoplifter. The Constables of the Shire made me remove my shift, and then I was locked in a "thief's fiddle," a wooden framework that restrained my hands and head. The only garment that I was wearing was my Clan Lindsay kilt.
I was then led through the streets, half-naked and wearing only my kilt, as I was whipped. Then I was handed over to a pirate guild, and they locked my head and hands in a pillory.
I was in the pillory for probably 45 minutes. Flies landed on my shoulders and back, but with my hands restrained, I was unable to shoo them away. Passersby asked me why I was being restrained in the pillory, and I explained that I was being punished as a shoplifter.
Eventually, a group of musicians began performing nearby, and I began dancing to their music. I did a vigorous barelegged and barefoot dance to every tune they played. At the end of their performance, they congratulated "our dancer"--me. And then, I was finally let go.
 
Hi friends,
I haven't contacted you for a long time, because it's getting harder and harder to find something new about historical celebrations and the topic of torture. But I have something new to share with you

The video comes from the event "Znojemské vinobraní (CZ) - SHŠ Tambora Bohemica" and is about the story of interrogation and torture of two witches.

Enjoy it

Hi friends,

Since it is increasingly difficult to find material (pictures, videos, theater) on the Internet on this topic, I want to ask for your help. There are certainly people here among you, also from other countries such as Slovakia or the Czech Republic, and they know about events of this type in their country, please give the name of the event, or a link to images, videos that relate to the medieval torture of witches shown in the show. I will be happy for any visual material from different countries.

Your thread founder
 
Hi everyone,

I haven't added anything here for a long time, because it's getting harder and harder to find new, interesting and engaging shows. This weekend was Medieval Day - "Stredoveký deň" again in Žilina (Sk) and the historical fencing group "Kompania z Turca" performed the torture of a witch.

Hello Friends :).

There was nothing here for a long time and I tried very hard to find something for you. That's why I got together with friends from the historical fencing group "Katovna u Jeníčka" (CZ) and I'll show you some photos from the event where a girl was tortured for stealing from the market. The photos were taken at the events "Battle of Bíle Hora 1620" (2023)

Enjoy :)
