The Ancient Greek bard Orpheus can never return to the Underworld after seeking his lost love there. Immortalised yet unable to appreciate His eternal body, he was torn limb from limb by the Maenads… A head, adrift on the elements, found by the Knights Templar and become their oracle, desires to make a new body... The ecology of individual and collective is explored in this ritual theatre. Live song and dance is accompanied by a stop-animation film of the coagulation of a life-size statue (created by Orryelle in 2011) which is a coagulation of 31 smaller wax figures which interlock to form a larger composite figure. After the performance Orryelle will talk about the interior meanings and processes involved, with a Q&A session. Further info at http://www.crossroads.wild.net.au/morph.htm

Orryelle Defenestrate-Bascule is a prolific multimedia artist and the director of the Metamorphic Ritual Theatre Company, dedicated to the wo/manifestation of the Wyrd in the realms of the flesh. Orryelle's current creative foci are the Tela Quadrivium, a fourfold alchemic bookweb being progressively published by Fulgur Limited (Conjunctio 2008, Coagula 2011, Solve 2012…); the completion of a series of group Global Chakra Workings at sacred sites around the planet; and the culmination of the Orpheus Working in various media.
