The guided audio tour in a former Catholic Church St. Joseph, Utrecht (NL) begins seated in an old wooden chair, inside a wooden confessional of a Church. The narrative uses nuances of the rootedness of a tree and contradicts it with our own burden of facing the inevitable longing to wander, resulting in landing at periods in life where the search for belonging ‘reappears’.
The guided audio tour in a former Catholic Church St. Joseph, Utrecht (NL) begins seated in an old wooden chair, inside a wooden confessional of a Church. The narrative uses nuances of the rootedness of a tree and contradicts it with our own burden of facing the inevitable longing to wander, resulting in landing at periods in life where the search for belonging ‘reappears’.
From its grounded roots, to the lightness of its branches and leaves swaying with the winds, the experience continues from the confessional, to a spiralling climb up the bell tower, allowing for a moment of undertaking a journey alone before coming back into the common space.
The dramaturgy takes inspiration from Arnold van Gennep’s Les rites de passage (the rites of passage), where-in an orientation, the walk through the passage as a moment of transformation and the integration back into the ‘society’ occurs for the visitor.
