19.07.25 — 22.07.25A ritual inspired by female mystics. Floating hair pendants and choir singers come together in search of connection.
Mystica is a ritual that gives voice to eight mystical women who lived between the eighth and sixteenth centuries. The preserved texts of Hildegard von Bingen, Mirabai, Teresa of Ávila, Sun Bu’er, and others were reimagined by Elisa Demarré into modern poetry and woven by Timo Tembuyser into a contemporary polyphony.
Suspended hair performers—artists who perform aerial acts using their hair tied to the ceiling—and choir singers join forces in search of connection, forming a community learning to speak a shared language anew. What do the words of these female spirits awaken in us today? Mystica is an exploration of the lost mystical undercurrent in the here and now. Not an escape, but a powerful, visual performance centred on togetherness.
