Ring of our Time

In The Ring of Our Time, gods and goddesses from ancient civilizations gather at the Euphrates River, alarmed by the endangerment of the harmonious world they created. 

In 2024 thirty artists from four continents will come together in the Euphrates region in to create a new work, Ring of our Time. In this work, the mythologies of the world's oldest civilizations are interwoven: of the Euphrates region, Mexico, Nigeria and Indonesia. In this new work, the forces of nature; the earth, the waters and the protectors of the forest and the trees take the lead-role.

This work shows ancient connections between cultures and reflects on the global use -and misuse- of natural resources. We see the ancient goddesses in our own time; Tiamat cries on the banks of the drying Euphrates river, Olokun curses the oil that pollutes her waters and Ine Aya’ walks through burning forests.

Premiere in Sulaymaniyeh in 2024
