Ask your question and witness the answer.
Have you ever harboured a question so deep, so complex, that standard logic fails to answer it? At The Oracle, audiences won’t just watch a show, they will feed the cosmic fire.
The night begins with the audience. Attendees are invited to bring their deepest, most unanswerable questions. Once the Priest chooses a query worthy of the gods, the Delphi, a collective of trance-talking improvisers will plunge into the ether. Through a mesmerising tapestry of spontaneous story, poetry, monologues, and haunting scene work, they will weave the patterns of human experience right before your eyes, culminating in a breathtaking, improvised revelation.
“We are delighted to be bringing The Oracle to Liverpool,” says creator Jonathan Pitts. “Individually we have all performed here before, but never as one collective group. To debut this show on Halloween in Liverpool is incredibly exciting.”
“Liverpool is a city built on spontaneous creativity, and we are delighted to bring such world-class talent to the city,” adds promoters Emma Bird and Mark Smith.
Beyond the main event, the visit will serve as a hub for the local creative community. The Oracle team will be delivering a full weekend of intensive improv and storytelling workshops for actors, improvisers, and creatives.
