Vishal Auwerx & Jozefien Muylle

'Lay Down, Come Down' is a musical and spiritual experience based on the ancient tradition of Indian classical music. This performance is inspired by the rich traditions of Hindustani classical music from North India, with the sitar as the central instrument. It offers a rare opportunity to experience the spiritual and emotional power of this music in its purest form. Vishal and Jozefien guide you during an Eastern tea ceremony and an enchanting sitar concert. A moment of shared consciousness, inspired by tradition and stillness. During the performance, you sit on a cushion or chair and lie down on a yoga mat. In 2019, May 21 was recognized as International Tea Day by the Verenigde Naties, with the aim of improving the socio-economic situation of tea producers. Tea is one of the most popular drinks in the world, but the production of tea also has its challenges. Many tea plantations are located in developing countries, where working conditions and wages are often under pressure. This day calls for attention to the working conditions of farmers and plantation workers, as well as to the sustainable and fair production of tea.
