The Oracle

Overview

On Delphi, long ago, the Oracle sucked the vapours of secret herbs and split the wall of time so as to forewarn mortals of what the Gods decreed. Since those Hellenic days, the seer has remained as the ultimate purveyor of mystic reference. Always of its era, the Oracle takes many forms, speaking every language and hopefully, though not often, heeded just in time.

Meryl Tankard, one of the finest choreographers in the world, now summons her Oracle, award-winning dancer Paul White, to the Sydney stage. Forming visions inspired by the works of Odd Nerdrum - a painter gifted with the greatest name ever known - The Oracle delivers a cloaked message to those who seek it.

And for those who don't, there are the urgent melodies of the Kronos Quartet and Nijinsky's The Rite of Spring to crack the shell of your everyday.

There will be a pre-performance talk given by Meryl Tankard on September 20th at 4pm.
