At the cult and burial site of Abydos in the Valley of the Kings the ancient Egyptians worshipped Osiris, God of perpetual reincarnation. There were mystery plays to honour him, and each year many believers made a pilgrimage to the site. Since all this happened 1500 years B.C., Abydos is regarded as the birthplace of theatre. Theatre plays play an important role in the life of Vanden Plas’ singer Andy Kuntz, too, and it was one of the reasons for him to choose “Abydos“ as the title for his first solo project.
