A concert that, through the creative use of multimedia, John’s Revelation and digitally altered Fayum mummy portraits, touches upon the mental trauma of the age-old, constantly lurking destruction that is nowadays called climate crisis. The production includes multiple projections and a surround sound system, audiovisual digits created in real time, an actress performing with live music, debates between scientific discourse and sacred texts, multilingual accounts of liturgical rituals from across the world, as well as heretical speech delivery by the actress, along with an unexpected use of soundscapes by the musician and Studio 19st. The performance is grounded on the standpoint that man is not the centre of this universe but just a guest in it, and that the climate crisis is a huge chance to establish a culture of a Sacred Indestructible for our common home in the present day.
