Hathor Consort
Just like spirituality, music opens the door to the indefinable. Hathor Consort explores in sound and video the Sufi music from Turkey and Syria, which found its way to Europe in the Middle Ages. In search of the universality of musical traditions, the collective led by gambist Romina Lischka embraces the ceremonial practice of Sufi dancers and their devotion to dhikr: a prayer that opens the door to surrender and enlightenment.
