Artist and writer Himali Singh Soin presents “Ancestors of the blue moon”, a performative multisensory experience, in Bastida Hall.

“Ancestors of the blue moon” is based on her research on the Himalayas, its animistic rituals or remedies, mystical geometries, old-new materialism, and spirit realism. Using this as a starting point, she creates flash fictions from the perspective of remote or forgotten deities. Himali presents in Bilbao the Basque deity Mairu, the supernatural spirit of gateways. Bastida Hall is transformed into an experimental space, inviting the audience to join the artist with David Soin Tappeser, a drummer, composer and performance artist, in a ritual which includes a gong bath, community readings and meetings.
