The audience are equipped with a virtual reality headset, wireless headphone, and a vibration vest – then the audience blindfolded enter the ritual installation space to encounter mystical touch-points of energetic transformation. In a direct and personal meeting with the performer Jakob la Cour, the audience is taken on an intimate techno-spiritual journey. To awake high-level sensory awareness we use a series of techniques spanning from sensorial triggers for relaxation and mindfulness to hypnotic and trance inducing suggestions utilizing touch, emotional intent, sounds, and fragrances. ‘Mystical Touch’ is a 20-minute, 3-stage journey, accommodating 1 participant at a time. It involves 5 mins sensory preparation, 10 mins multiplayer VR experience, and 5 mins integration & reflection.
