HOME OF ENCHANTMENTS

SUPERNATURAL TV SERIES

"Fucked up people are magical too!"

Home of Enchantments is a dark urban fantasy drama series set in the city of Rio de Janeiro and New York. In a world where the films, Constantine meets City of God, we follow the journey of a medium, Annabellee (Belle) das Almas as she uncovers the secret of her supernatural lineage. She returns to her childhood home to investigate her mother's mysterious death and reunites with residents who have supernatural powers of their own.

Over the first season, the residents of Home of Enchantments and their supernatural powers are revealed. Belle is reunited with Zante, her true love but a supernatural force threatens them. She discovers the truth about her mother and embraces her superpowers. Brazilian and American culture interweave in a supernatural world of music and magic, where wounded people become superheroes, taking us through portals of time, subterranean cities, meeting super beings of light.

Welcome to the Home of Enchantments, where what you see is never what you get and fucked up people are magical too.

Alba Albanese quoted by

“It comes down to a longing for human contact...

...Today, everything is dehumanized by technology. We miss the intimacy of the Gilded Age — a handwritten letter, flowers at the door, giving a lock of hair, looking into someone’s eyes, feeling a human touch.

There is a void today, and people want connections. We want storytelling and poetry in our lives.”

“She has a gift. She IS a gift, and one that hundreds and hundreds of people have been blessed to open and be opened by."

COLLIDER

“I was absolutely floored by Alba Albanese’s work in “Home of Enchantments.”

It’s a one-on-one experience where Alba plays a character named Belle, a spiritually gifted yet troubled individual who calls upon you to help her through an especially dark, trying situation.

It’s an extensive tale that requires a powerhouse performance from Alba that not only hits the beats of the story crafted, but also comes with interactive emotional elements that feel deeply personal. It’s a beautiful mix of making the participant feel vulnerable and on edge while also sending you on your way with a surprisingly full heart.

(And the fact that Alba conducted one of these shows after the next at Overlook is absolutely astounding.)"

“Creator Alba Albanese is exceedingly inventive; she’s taken the things most bothersome about immersive theatre and banished them from her work.”
