Stories of (not so) Long Ago

The first day opens with the premiere of Synesthetic Project’s new creation, Arachne - a performance where ritual and myth are woven together into a shimmering web of sound, movement, and symbolism.

Three musicians and a dancer invite the audience into a space transformed into a vast, web-like installation. Here, stories of womanhood, connection, and transformation unfold like threads of silk, binding the performers and the audience in a shared ritual. Classical and folk music intertwine, carrying echoes of ancient traditions while resonating with a contemporary pulse.

At its heart, Arachne is a celebration of empathy, sisterhood, and the delicate yet unbreakable bonds that tie us to one another. Before and after the performance, visitors are invited to wander through an accompanying exhibition of visual artworks and media, expanding the ritual beyond the stage into a living dialogue of art forms.
