Ghost Flower Ritual

Ghost Flower Ritual brings together visual art, music and performance in a sensuous ritual that explores transience and the power of transformation in the face of today’s biodiversity crisis. The work is inspired by an alchemical myth of a flower that burns and rises from its own ashes. 

Cecilia Fiona has transformed CC’s Hall 6 into a magical landscape where architecture, paintings, sculptures and costumes come together in a living scenography of materials, colours and textures. The installation is brought to life through a series of live concert performances, in which Sophie Søs Meyer and the musicians from Athelas Sinfonietta activate the work with sound and music, while Cecilia Fiona’s sculptures and costumes are taken over by performers.

The audience is invited to enter an occult ritual where flower spirits, the biodiversity crisis, and hopes for resurrection are woven together in a sensory and ceremonial experience.
