SOFIA's Trip
A concert that takes you on a trip.
You journey through the music of Sofia Gubaidulina and Soheil Shayesteh - from the earthly to the heavenly - performed live by an ensemble of strings, bassoon, piano and kamancheh, heightened by a low, controlled dose of psychedelic truffles. This isn't a light, happy trip. It's deep, intense, and confronting at times. That's exactly the point.
You don't go alone. In a small group of about ten people, you're guided step by step by an experienced sitter, so you know exactly what to expect - from the truffles, and from the music. Expect the experience to last around 4 to 6 hours, most intense in the first hour and a half to two hours.
Sofia's Trip is a production by Lonelinoise. PRSM-lab at Leiden University will research our project and the effects of truffels on contemporary music.
