The Pocket Oracle (2002 - )In the beginning, in the darkness, is the word. The creator behind the scenes struggles with the material, but each attempt is rejected. The pile of paper grows. Out of the paper, three lovable creatures - each in their own way incomplete - appear. They discover each other, and they discover the big book. A book full of rules - on the art of becoming a complete person. With the oracle's wisdom in their pockets, they attack the problem of developing themselves - but with blinders on. Bits of text appear in the landscape, and they must each relate to them. But rules can be interpreted in different ways, and this leads to frustration, conflict, and isolation. Their hunt for a philosopher's stone leads them to an entire quarry. When it rains with words of wisdom as books from the sky, they must choose among them together. First then, with each others' help, will they be able to approach completeness. Using masks, music, computer projections, humor and warmth, we fantasize on the eternally clumsy human search through existence - without uttering a word. back |
