MOVEDBYMATTER, the transdisciplinary company of Kasper Vandenberghe, was in residence at Dommelhof to put the finishing touches to ‘MYSTICA’: a multidisciplinary ritual with hair suspension and choir singers. Together with dramaturge Elisa Demarré, he investigates how we can collectively come into contact with the deeper layers of our consciousness. By embracing both light and dark, space is created for forgiveness, growth and transformation, both individually and collectively. Inspired by Hildegard von Bingen and other female mystical figures such as Hadewijch d’Anvers and Teresa of Ávila, ‘MYSTICA’ brings forgotten stories to life. In this video, Kasper and Elisa tell more about the theme and the process behind this special creation.
