Ritual invites audiences into the depths of the Mycenaean palace as Orestes lies in wait, attempting to get the gods to speak to him once again before he carries out his revenge. Throughout this day-long installation, the audience will be able to roam and explore around Orestes across two fully designed rooms over the course of this 8-hour performance at the COLAB Tower.

Presented by Witness, Ritual is a transfer from New York, where it debuted in the East Village in October 2021. This is the UK premiere of Witness’s work, and it has been supported by Arts Council England.

A handwritten note on lace reads "Servant of Delphian Apollo. Why has he left me behind?" with lit candles, creating a mysterious mood.
