To celebrate Candlemas, we invite you to a convivial evening ritual in an allotment around a campfire.
As masters of ceremonies, we arrange participatory moments that stitch together the many threads of this twilight festivity.
The liturgical practice of consecrating candles to mark the light-bringing arrival of Christ was strategically employed by Spanish missionaries to convert the Canary Islands. From here, the creolised figure of the "Virgen de Candelaria" spread throughout Latin America.
Part of CALAENDARIA, a performance series hosted by Gabbi Cattani and Lorenzo Graf
