MYSTICA will be a multidisciplinary ritual with hair suspension and choir singers in which we collectively come back into contact with the deeper layers of our consciousness. Together we discover how we can change, both individually and collectively. By embracing both light and dark, we create space for forgiveness, growth and true transformation.

Inspired by Hildegard von Bingen, a 12th-century mystic who became famous for her visions, music and knowledge, MYSTICA explores the forgotten stories of female mystical figures. Names such as Hadewijch d’Anvers and Teresa of Ávila come back to life, together with the power they symbolize.

MYSTICA digs deeper into our culture and asks: what can we learn from what often remains hidden or ignored? The project invites reflection and connection, with the aim of rediscovering a lost feminine energy.
