Seasonal Rites

Between December 2020 and April 2022, Theatre of the Ancients embarked a cycle of experimental, seasonal, outdoor and site-specific theatre rituals which were immersive, participatory and multi-sensory in nature, and based on the pagan wheel of the year. These events were grounded in research into Ibiza’s folklore, myths and local rural traditions, and were an attempt to reinstil seasonality on an island dominated for half a century by summer ‘sun worship’. Through these happenings we attempted to reconnect the public with the raw landscapes of the island in a direct, visceral and community-orientated way. Please select from the submenu to learn more.
