Pilgrimage

A contemporary pilgrimage in search of the power of the collective, based on John Dowland's song cycles A Pilgrimes Solace.

In the music theatre performance Pilgrimage, composer Siebe Thijs brings a contemporary pilgrimage to the stage. A journey that vibrates on the border where the individual transitions into the collective. The moment when the community rises above the individual.

The performance sways on the delicate border between the individual and the collective. It explores the tension between individuality and shared responsibility in an era that is increasingly turning in on itself. Pilgrimage invites us to reflect on the other, and to learn to understand walking again as an encounter. A rhythm of staying and leaving, of touching and letting go of each other, all in one movement.
