About Agadez featuring Antonio Forcione
Queendoms is a musical journey into archaic female cults that followed the primordial cult of the Mother Goddess. Conceived as a ritual rather than a concert, each song is dedicated to a goddess, evoking her world and invoking her powers. Agadez composed the music to induce a state of trance, while Antonio Forcione plays guitar in the manner of a shaman with his drum, enhancing the shamanic qualities of the music. The result is a collaboration where music, ritual and spiritual invocation intertwine.
Why see this show?
An immersive ritual-concert drawing on goddess traditions from across civilisations — Agadez's trance-inducing compositions and Forcione's shamanic guitar create something genuinely transportive. Suitable for all ages.
