Not feeling fully su re?\n Better to wait for a moment when you are - no one obliges you to d o this.\n * Make sure you have nothing else planned that evening: the calm er and freer\n your mind\, the more room there is for the experience.\n\ n\nENSEMBLE\n\nLidy Blijdorp\, cello\n\nKetevan Roinishvili\, cello\n\nEmm a Warmelink\, cello\n\nRenée Timmer\, cello\n\nJennifer Blom\, double bass \n\nAna García Sánchez\, double bass\n\nDominique Chabot\, double bass\n\n Minna Svedberg\, viola\n\nTobias Borsboom\, piano\n\nThomas Dulfer\, basso on\n\nSoheil Shayesteh\, kamancheh\n\n\nSofia's Trip is a production by Lo nelinoise.

Mediamatic hosts a concert that takes you o n a trip.

You journey through the music of Sofia Gubaidulina and So heil Shayesteh - from the earthly to the heavenly - performed live by an e nsemble of strings, bassoon, piano and kamancheh, heightened by a low, con trolled 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 s tep 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 arou nd 4 to 6 hours, most intense in the first 1,5 / 2 hours.

What can you expect?

In a small group of about ten peop le, you'll receive a low, controlled "concert dose" of truffles: 5 to 8 gr ams, well below a normal dose of 15 to 30 grams. The tea is made by Microd ose Together, specialists in truffle guidance at events. You're prepared s tep by step, so you know exactly what to expect - from the truffles, and f rom the music.

Truffles contain psilocybin and psilocin, the same a ctive substances found in magic mushrooms. After drinking the tea, it usua lly takes 20 to 60 minutes before you feel the first effects; a full trip lasts about 4 to 6 hours, with the most intensity in the first hour and a half to two hours. This is exactly why we take plenty of time before the c oncert begins.

This is an experience for those open to something in tense and introspective, not for those looking for a light, happy trip. We 'll walk you through the heavier themes in Gubaidulina's music beforehand, so you're prepared.
