KASSANDRA PROJECT
CONCEIVE AND ORCHESTRATED BY DARIA FAÏN
“She hears earth’s breaths, the wind that sings gloriously in her womb of space”
A collective social sculpture that resurrects the myth of Kassandra to confront our systemic denial of innate intuition and the sacred feminine.
Over 24 hours, audiences are drawn into an outdoor landscape where space, time, and human memory collapse into a raw, transformative journey.
Orchestrated by an organic clock, the 24-hour cycle anchors five primal elements—Fire, Earth, Wood, Metal, and Water—to physical space, time, and raw emotional states. As the clock turns, the audience is fold into the visceral, unravelling dynamics of Kassandra’s mind.

The Encounter:
From single, breath-held exchanges to expansive collective gatherings, the experience unfolds across living, inhabited landscapes, historical narratives, solo performance, and fire dances. At its heart, a transgenerational chorus fuses youth under 15 with elders over 70, striking seven decades of memory against raw, emerging voices.
The Embodiment:
You do not merely witness Kassandra; you inhabit her, collapsing speaker and listener into a single vessel. This is an invitation to hear the immediate, unvarnished voice of innate intuition—awakening both personal instinct and collective consciousness.
The Language:
Language here transcends logic. Bending nonlinear time and ancestral cultures, sound acts as a sensory bridge across the schism between intuition and conscious thought—manifesting through breath, phonemes, physical gesture, action, and weighted silence.
