Please CLICK HERE to read some important details and a few special requests from our team when attending Prophecy Fog. From award-winning artist, Jani Lauzon, Prophecy Fog begins with a journey into the Mojave Desert in search of Giant Rock, armed with the question: can a site still be sacred if it has been desecrated? We encounter a girl in the mountains of B.C. with a pocket full of stones, the rainbow warrior’s prophecy, and a mysterious inscription that obscures our past. “We come from the stars, we are star people.” Prophecy Fog weaves together the performance skills of veteran raconteur Jani Lauzon and the expertise of Environmental Designer Melissa Joakim, along with Director Franco Boni to elicit a conscious remembering of ancient prophecies that speak to rock teachings, star beings and earth changes.

It takes place in the City State of Thebes. Dion (originally Dionysus), the non-binary "Demi God", (half God half human) and champion of wine and revelry, has come to punish their mother's family who refuse to believe they are the offspring of Zuess. They seduce their own relatives into joining a "cult" of disenfranchised revellers who have all abandoned Thebes for the woods, and then Dion allows themself to be captured by their furious cousin, the ruler of Thebes, Pentheus. What they convince Pentheus to do is not something anyone would have thought was possible... Entirely sung, this version of The Bacchae is sassy, sexy, quick moving, sacred and profane. It's a meditation on all aspects of The Left and The Right that has never been more relevant.

The world premiere was staged on 31 January 1891 at the Residenztheatre in Munich. Ibsen himself was in attendance, although he remained back-stage. The play has been canonized as a masterpiece within the genres of literary realism. Hedda Gabler dramatizes the experiences of the title character, Hedda, the daughter of a general, who is trapped in a marriage and a house that she does not want. Overall, the title character for Hedda Gabler is considered one of the great dramatic roles in theater. The year following its publication, the play received negative feedback and reviews. Hedda Gabler has been described as a female variation of Hamlet.
