“Arms wrapped around one another like a resonant mycelium — understanding each other without having to think alike.”
Mycelium emerges from a simple tension: proximity does not arise from agreement, but from attention.
Through voice, string quartet, guitar, electronics, dance and poetry, a contemporary ritual unfolds in which bodies, sounds and voices meet. Individual trajectories intersect, touch, and drift apart again. Original compositions by the artists of Chimaera merge with the boundary-pushing sonic worlds of Giacinto Scelsi and Jean-Paul Dessy.
Inspired by the work of Antony Gormley, Mycelium explores the dynamic interplay between performers, audience and space, transforming the museum into a breathing, resonant network.
Do we need to feel the same in order to experience something together?
