Chimaera’s Mycelium is an interactive, living performance that weaves together music, dance, movement, poetry, scent, and ritual. It explores how ritual and collective experience reconnect audiences with themselves and each other in a contemporary urban setting.

Six performers — string quartet, trombone, electric guitar, vocals, and dance — bring original compositions to life, centered on vocal expression and a dynamic mix of acoustic and electronic sounds.

Performers move through the space, sometimes dispersed, sometimes gathered, creating a shifting soundscape that invites the audience to engage actively and become part of the ritual’s evolving energy.

Rooted in voice, rhythm, gesture, poetry, and scent, Mycelium invites audiences not only to watch and listen but to participate as co-creators in a living, collective ritual. 

Take a trip with us.
