Death & Rebirth Ritual Art Festival is a three-day art festival featuring ritual
performances by international artists. The various stages of death and rebirth
are explored through visual arts, performing arts, live music, panels, lectures,
workshops, and DJs. This year's edition called "Portals of Incarnation" is built
around the theme of transformation. The festival offers a platform to exchange
beliefs and experiences among different communities and cultural backgrounds,
promoting harmony and embracing diversity. The event is accessible to everyone
interested in art, music, rituals, contemplation, consciousness, and personal
development. It takes place on 22-24 March at Treehouse NDSM and MACA.
Artists from various disciplines come together under one unifying factor:
Rituals. Rituals from various practices, both ancient and contemporary, have the
potential to ignite inner transformation. The theme of this year’s edition,
"Portals of Incarnations," explores how pain can be a doorway to transcendence.
Rituals can assist in accepting, healing, and ultimately transforming painful
experiences. The program includes, among others, a Sufi dance workshop with
Rasha Vrede, a classical piano ritual by Anima Lab , live music from Maya
Friedman and Farid Sheek, panel discussions and film screenings, spoken word and
sound healing by Sofia Kaloterakis, and ritual art performances by Wormwood
Star, Myrgon, Sajjra (Peru), Giek_1 and many others. The festival concludes with
a live DJ set by DJ Isis.
The festival takes place in an intimate setting, with spaceholders who can
support participants in their processes. The festival is accessible to everyone
interested in art, music, rituals, contemplation, consciousness, and personal
development. The diverse program invites self-reflection, connection, and
wonder.
