Heilung
Palais Theatre
Eivør’s music has been streamed close to 1 billion times with soundtracks and features on all seasons of the flagship Netflix hit series, The Last Kingdom. A moody performance that is such a well suited to open for Heilung. Hailing from the tiny village of Syðrugøta on the Faroe Islands and with ten studio albums under her belt, as well as numerous collaborations with artists including Àsgeir, John Grant, Einar Selvik (Wardruna) and Dan Heath (Lana Del Ray), Eivør is considered to be one of the most eclectic artists of the Nordics and a mesmerizing live vocalist.
Heilung is amplified history from early medieval northern Europe. Each live appearance of Heilung is a spectacular affair, where the lines blur between musical performance, ancient pagan rituals, past, and present. To witness a performance of the band is more of an spiritual experience that connects you as the audience to ancient wisdom, ritual and the Earth.
To describe a Heilung show is almost impossible, it has to be experience and felt, to reach out and feel the visceral experience that is connected to ancient rituals. The show can’t be categorized, defined or even explained – it must be witnessed, it is captivating.
Using poems, which either deal with historical events or are translations and interpretations of the original texts the band perform using throat singing, intertwined with melodies to harmonize and create a unique sound. The show will take you to another place in your psyche that taps into something primal, connecting viewers to ancient times.
