Ring of our Time

Ring of our Time

A new opera about global extraction

The goddesses and gods of the great civilizations come together for the first time in many centuries. They meet at the Euphrates River, the place where the world's first myths were written down. They remember the first stories. How everything came into existence from the water, how the primordial mother Tiamat was attacked by her grandchildren and how the pieces of her body became the living nature. They remember how the sacred tree grew in the centre of the earth, and a thread came from heaven, connecting the families of people and nature. They remember how the calendar was installed and how the thread spread the sacred stories to all corners of the world.

The goddesses are concerned. The world they have created, where people, nature and animals live in harmony, is in danger. The sacred thread was cut during colonial times, and its pieces are lost. Will the ancient voices be able to return to the world, and heal the sacred thread?

Premiere at the Holland Festival Amsterdam 24 june 2025
