Can the
body be an oracle? Can the show be an oracle? This is a hypothetical exercise
that – more than searching for answers – listens, watches, reads, interprets
signals and symbols in order to create possibilities. It confronts us in the
here-and-now with the moment of an action, suspending our obsession with the
future. It also confronts us with a permanent questioning, a restlessness and
the incessant searching in each of us.
The
darkness of the theatre becomes the medium for illuminating something less
visible and more occult, and the theatrical experience can thus reveal itself
as a real and transformational perspective.
‘Oracle’
invites us to come together and practice other forms of clairvoyance.
