Revelations is about the power of visions. The starting point are the impressive visions of Hadewijch van Antwerpen, a writer and mystic from the Middle Ages from Antwerp, Belgium. She describes in her Visions her personal proces of growth in love and insight, with Christain symbols and extatic images that do not shy away from erotic visions. In a setting in which an individual is placed opposite a choir, Revelations is searching for the power of visionary experiences and extacy in our modern context.
