Verbrannt: A Witch Concert
Join us on a journey into the magic of the past when musicians Cæcilie Balling and GRETA and light artists from Vertigo fill the Black Diamond with sound and video in the spirit of witchcraft!
Inspired by the Black Diamond's magic exhibition Between Heaven and Earth, violinist and singer Cæcilie Balling has created a song cycle where the voices of the past are brought to life in the meeting between the acoustic and electronic sound universes. The music delves into forgotten wisdom with inspiration drawn from Royal Danish Library's Folklore Collection. Cæcilie is joined by musician and singer GRETA.
The visual artists from Vertigo will be painting the grey concrete walls of the Black Diamond with alchemy and witchcraft writings.
