THIRTEEN – Trīspadsmit

The illusionists Pecolli present: “13” – Trīspadsmit, a mystical experience show. As the autumn season of spirits draws near, the Mystero Illusion Theatre presents a show in a format its audiences have not experienced before: each performance is limited to just 13 spectators. The show takes place in the Mystero Theatre’s Mystery Room on the second floor.

The show combines magic tricks, storytelling and theatrical elements. Its research materials are based on true events—at least as far as we believe them to be…

The show is interactive: spectators will take on the roles of witches and inquisitors, attend the clairvoyant Hanussen’s final séance, visit an American orphanage surrounded by mystical legends, learn the secrets of the eccentric Blavatsky, and witness the power of their own minds… And much more.

The aim of the show is not to frighten, but quite the opposite: to explain some popular superstitions and symbols associated with fear, so that we can understand their origins and effects. Despite the seemingly serious subject matter, the atmosphere is light and humorous. The mystical and unknown have always fascinated people because they are interesting. 🙂

Illusionists Dace and Enrico Pecolli/Pezzoli have travelled to many countries, deliberately seeking out and learning about the mystical stories of different peoples, consulting original sources wherever possible. This interest led them to acquire many historical objects and artifacts connected with religious, cultural-historical and mystical traditions. Many of these can be seen on museum tours led by the Mystero Illusion Theatre/Museum. More information: www.mystero.lv

Why “13”? For example, the Tarot card “Death” is numbered 13, and in Christianity 13 is considered an unlucky number in connection with the Last Supper. The term “triskaidekaphobia” comes from Greek and describes the superstitious and pathological anxiety some people feel about the number 13. In fact, the number 13 has always been associated with transformation, rebirth and change, and can be interpreted in either a positive or negative sense. How will we interpret it? As a beautiful new beginning, free from fear.
