ORACLE presented by Vox Medusa with Infiammati FireCircus May 2025

Experience the Myth and Majesty of Ancient Greece as critically acclaimed Vox Medusa, in collaboration with Infiammati FireCircus, ignites the stage this May with ORACLE, a mesmerizing fusion of mythology, dance, and fire. Set against the enchanting backdrop of Caponi Art Park’s Theater in the Woods, this outdoor spectacle revives the ancient traditions of the Oracle of Delphi through six spellbinding performances.

Embark on a journey into the heart of mythos and step back in time to ancient Greece as a pilgrim seeking divine guidance from the fabled Oracle. Witness the epic battle between the god Apollo and the Earth Mother Gaea for control of the sacred Delphi Temple—a struggle that threatens the Oracle's legacy as a rare and powerful female figure in a male-dominated pantheon.

Rediscover the Oracle's tale through a modern lens, as ORACLE reimagines the story of Delphi’s priestess on the fateful day Apollo lays siege to her temple. The Oracle’s voice, once a channel of wisdom and prophecy from Mother Earth (Gaea), is challenged by Apollo's ambition. This epic tale, told from the Oracle’s perspective, follows her courageous fight to preserve her power, her legacy, and her role as a symbol of feminine strength.

The 27-member ensemble includes Emily Colay as the Oracle, Cory Watson as Apollo, and narrators Leviticus Martin (History) and Olivia Montgomery (Herstory). Alongside them are Gaea’s priestesses, python-daughter, Naiad messengers, and the fiery armies of Apollo and Gaea, all brought to life through an intricate interplay of dance, music, and fire.

Don’t miss this unforgettable journey into the heart of myth and magic.
