"Ritual performances create a symbolic territorial model by filling a certain designated space with the prescribed ritual actions – but also with symbols. In all cases, the actions affect the awareness of individual identity, by breaking them down, by providing alternative identities or by replacing it by an awareness of collective identity". Jan Koster
Combining real-time motion capture devices, computer vision techniques and projection mapping, the goal is to produce a immersive platform that gives the performers on stage the ability to control visuals.

"Evidence suggests to us that ancient shamans possessed a very detailed knowledge about the use of a wide variety of mind-altering plants. The primitive South America are known for their ritualistic use of drugs such as yage, peyote and a number of others for the purpose of inducing ecstatic experiences. At times ecstasy is induced through drum rhythms and night-long dancing." - Michael Tausing-
