Humans have always been driven to find answers for life’s struggles. In ancient days, people went to oracles, shamans or elders for guidance, but today, we have each other. Today we need to access our wisdom together. Waking the Oracle is here to guide communities through interactive, participatory workshops and musical story performances to address the toughest of questions.

Partly based on mythical elements, Waking the Oracle takes unique struggles a community has and transforms them into a musical or theatrical performance collectively created by all members of a community. With the help of  “Oracle Helpers,” the audience is guided through a story eventually identifying the right questions and/or coming to a resolution of an issue. Gathered around a lightwell, the audience and performers will share stories and exchange wisdom as it has been done for thousands of years.
