The Curse of the Addams Family
A Night of Chills, Shadows, and Deliciously Dark Humor
There are evenings when theatre doesn’t just get under your skin — it settles in and makes itself comfortable.
The performance of “The Curse of the Addams Family” was precisely one of those moments: more than 60 dedicated students transformed the stage into a living, breathing ecosystem of shadows, strangeness, and morbid elegance.
The moment the audience entered the hall, a subtle wave of unease drifted across the room.
A little shiver here, an involuntary flinch there — and that was the best possible compliment for the entire cast.
What made this production so special was the blend of dark humor, finely tuned acting, and a carefully crafted visual world that captured the true Addams spirit:
dry wit, eccentric details, and a delightful touch of the macabre.
For me as the photographer, it was pure joy to capture this universe: glances rising out of the darkness, gestures balancing perfectly between creepy and comical, and an energy that made the room feel almost electrically alive.
The students didn’t just perform — they embodied what makes the Addams Family so irresistibly strange:
pleasure in the unusual, beauty in the bizarre, and the art of charmingly unsettling the audience.
An unforgettable night. A performance that lingers.
And an audience that left with a faint, strangely satisfying sense of unease.
Exactly as the Addams would have wanted…
