Description
Early music ensemble, eX, presents music from their acclaimed show, POSSESSED, a journet through the mysterious world of possession. POSSESSED explores the music of four culturally diverse manifestations of this strange universal phenomenon; Christian ecstatic trance as experienced by visionaries Hildegard von Bingen, Theresa of Avila and Joan of Arc, demonic possession of the Salem witches, initiation rites of the Afro-Brazilian Candomble and a musical exorcism from Puglia performed to the wild rhythms of the tarantella.
"The music is of the highest international standard with beautiful singing and most infectious instrumental playing" Tim Thurston, Lyric FM
"If you fancy a little something both brilliant and mischievous, then this is absolutely for you." Early Music Today (UK)
"Not for the pure of heart. eX's Possessed is a tour de force of instrumental and vocal brilliance." Huffington Post (USA)
