The Experience

Ritmo Sakral, bearing the creative signature of SAMBACH, is much more than a concert.

Therefore, music is combined with artistic artifacts that engage all five senses.

Visual projections, live scents, and edible objects are part of what makes Ritmo Sakral a complete experience that immerses the audience in a unique world beyond reality.

In the words of Pol Oñate, creator and director of SAMBACH: “Feeling art through our entire being is a disruptive and effective way to take the audience beyond their comfort zone through beauty.”

A path that Oñate knows especially well thanks to his visual impairment.

The Narrative

There is nothing in history that justifies or accredits the connection between Brazilian folklore and Bach’s music, nothing, except that music is made by people.

Thus, Ritmo Sakral is a journey back to oneself and to intimate power.

Led by an actor who acts as a bridge between the band and the audience, the dramaturgy of the show evokes equally valid and transcendent realities for both cultures, such as the ancestral need of belonging to a group, the search for an existence beyond what we can see, or the choice of a life path based on values.

The Format

Ritmo Sakral is presented as a septet: six musicians and one actor who become the masters of ceremonies both onstage and among the audience, guiding them to a new universe.

Additionally, the production has a large technical team dedicated to providing a high-level experience for the audience.

With both indoor and outdoor formats and various options for audience seating, Ritmo Sakral features a live aromatic DJ, visual projections, and subtitles for all show content in the preferred language. It also collaborates with the prestigious cocktail bar Dr. Stravinsky for the final cocktail of the show and an R&D team in gastronomy for the edible objects.

Ritmo Sakral can be performed, in its theatrical part, in Catalan, Spanish, English, and French.
