Programmtext:
Qilaatersorneq in the language of the native inhabitants of Greenland (the Inuit) is the name for the Ritual Drum Dance.
The group is driven into and guided through trance by the Angákoq - it's spiritual leader/shaman - in order to seek healing and advice. The whole ritual is accompanied by his drumming and singing, gradually developing from a melancholic elegy into rhythmical frenzy as the group joins in. At the very culmination of collective ecstasy the Angákoq vanishes, flying to the World of the Higher Spirits.
Upon his return, as sudden and inexplicable as his disappearance, he describes his voyage to the group and explains them the commands and advises of the Spirits.
