The 'The Oracles of Water' is an interactive and participatory site-specific event that links climate change and the global water crisis with the mythology and worship of Apollo at Delphi. A young environmental scientist, after a foreboding dream of all water sources drying up, visits Delphi seeking an oracle from Apollo about the future of water. From the vast Delphic landscape and the Omphalos of the Earth, the Pythia, Mnemosyne, and the Muses deliver a global message about water. This performance weaves together themes of global warming and water pollution, connecting Science, Philosophy, Mythology, and Performing Arts.
