On Sunday 1 May 2016, together with Centraal Museum and the Zuilens Fanfare Corps Utrecht, BAK hosts four live performances of Société Réaliste’s work Universal Anthem (2013). As a part of the Cultural Sunday titled “Bestemming Bereikt”, or Destination Reached, the piece is played on four different locations throughout the city center. The performance at the Centraal Museum ends with a conversation between museum director Edwin Jacobs and artists Ferenc Gróf (Société Réaliste) and Jonas Staal on the creation of this universal anthem and questions around the notions of national identity and citizenship.

In all continents, people have built matriarchal cosmologies sustained by complex rituals. In the advent of main modern religions and after centuries of colonizing invasions, the goddesses of antiquity were suppressed by the patriarchal structures that consolidated our era. However, they found ways to speak to us in the language of patterns, melodies, and poems. This workshop uses the voice as a method to reveal the presence of goddesses.
