The primary inspiration behind Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch's Congregation is the Romani pilgrimage taking place at the Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. The traditionally nomadic people gather in a small village in the south of France to worship their Saint and patroness, the Black Sara, as well as to reunite and nurture their identity and culture. The piece is inspired by how rituals involving behaviours that might be considered unusual or even extreme in everyday life can create a sense of community for separated individuals, a collective catharsis. It utilises binaural technology, field recordings, body percussions and voices to explore the physical and emotional sensations generated by communal ecstatic and charismatic religious practices, contrasting overwhelming chaos with the release of the sublime.
