Sanctuary Tour update!

sanctuary

We’ve uploaded a small teaser for those who are still going to visit our Sanctuary Tour.

Within Temptation’s theater tour 2012 is called: Sanctuary.

When you visit a theater, you can always sense a sort of magic – there’s a very special feeling floating in the air, something out of the ordinary. Maybe it’s the history of the building you’re in, or imagining all the different shows that took place there, and the visitors who felt the joy, the tension and the mystery of what they were about to see.

Whether we go to the theater as visitors or perform there ourselves, with Within Temptation we always have that special feeling. This is why every few years we work hard to create a new show to perform in the theaters. Another reason- in addition to the magical and intimate ambiance the theaters offer- is that this is also the perfect environment to experiment creatively with our music and our show. This gives us the unique opportunity to approach and do things differently than we would on a ‘normal’ stage. This is most definitely the case for our new 2012 theater show.

A lot of things you’ll see in our show will be new and quite different from what you’ve seen from us before.

When selecting and listening to our songs we noticed how well they fit together and how much they have in common, both stylistically and lyrically. More and more, we also realized that by putting these songs in a certain order we were actually creating a story. As the visuals and movies we use during our shows have become a bigger and bigger part of our shows, this new story gave us the perfect opportunity to create new film material. This not only shows the story line visually, but supports the musical story as well.

So this is how our film crew ended up in Scotland, in the Highlands- a landscape so beautiful that reality and fantasy seem to go hand in hand.

The perfect background to this story…

Scotland. The Highlands, 1895. A young boy, sick, is lying in his bed.  He has been there for days now, infected by an unknown virus causing a dangerous fever.

As the fever gets stronger, his consciousness fades away, further and further from reality. He slips away into a dream world. He is a grown man now; a warrior or Holy man of some kind; strong and determined. Traveling the landscape, which is enchantingly familiar, yet surreal and unknown.

Now and then, when the fever stabilizes for a short while, the real world shines through. Sometimes in forms and shapes that fit his dream world -his mother, the doctor, the local priest… they all try to help him but seem powerless to do so.

Though tempting, he is not quite ready to stay in this sanctuary, not ready to say goodbye… and so he travels on and on… searching for a way out.

We hope to see you during our Sanctuary tour,

Within Temptation.

    Sanctuary… Oh, I love it even before I can hear it. I like the letter “S” in the beginning of a word and Sanctuary is even better because it’s sacred… I adore that meaning. And I know I will be looking forward to the CD, Restless… I wish I could be there!!! ♥

    Goddamn, you creativity beasts!
    The storyline is amazing, and the way it came to you (by joining your songs that already existed and that were writen in another context in a certain order like this) is fascinating.

    Are you going to make a short movie, or a DVD out of the storyline and/or the theater tour? Please, if it’s possible someway, do it. I won’t be there watching you perform, but I would love to see what you prepared for these shows!

    Ik ben erg benieuwd naar de theater show! Ik ga er samen met mijn moeder naartoe op maandag in Roosendaal. Ze krijgt dit als verjaardagscadeau van mij, en we verheugen ons er allebei heel erg op!! Het filmpje wat jullie hier gepost hebben, heb ik niet gekeken. Ik vind het leuker als het een verassing blijft! Ben wel erg nieuwschierig geworden! ;) Zie jullie volgende week maandag! Tot dan! Xx.

    Hoi, ik ben Lian en 9 jr. Mijn ouders namen me mee naar het theater in Heerlen zonder dat ik wist waar ik heen ging. Zelfs in de zaal had ik nog steeds niet in de gaten wat me te wachten stond.
    Totdat Sharon begon te zingen had ik het pas in de gaten en zat/stond daar met mijn mond wagenwijd open.
    Dit was mijn eerste concert ooit en ik heb super genoten.
    Ik kom weer naar jullie kijken op Park city live in Heerlen, tot dan.
