ORACLE
A MYTHICAL JOURNEY THROUGH THE STARS
From the creative team behind the award, winning MATADOR & the critically acclaimed MANSION, comes their latest award winning, box office hit fusion of circus, burlesque, dance & contemporary storytelling; ORACLE... and it is one for the gods!
Since the beginning of time, humankind, gods and goddesses alike, have all looked up to the stars in an attempt to draw meaning from the Universe. In doing so, prophecies, myths and tales have been told; tales of monsters, mermaids and other mythical creatures. Of powerful goddesses, and vengeful gods, of heroes and beautiful maidens. Tales of a decadent time, of love and lust, of bravery and sacrifice. Tales and legends that birthed the star constellations of the Zodiac signs we know today.
Delivering these prophecies and myths, a maiden - a warrior, a saviour and an empath, a beauty robbed of sight but blessed with vision. The voice of the gods, the light in the dark. She is ORACLE. Let ORACLE and her haunting, powerhouse vocals guide you through the 12 zodiac myths, explored thematically through live vocals, world class circus acts, mesmerizing aerials, steamy burlesque numbers, interlaced with ballet, contemporary and commercial dance.
With a diverse, talented and attractive cast of 18 performers, Oracle brings you elite specialty acts and choreography, set to an epic soundtrack of classic anthems, hit songs, ballads, covers and cinematic masterpieces. The handmade costumes, providing an injection of high fashion into the mix, pay homage to some of the biggest names of the fashion world.
The team at Bass Fam Creative have crafted yet another feast for the senses, with something in ORACLE for everyone.

The main doors and box office open 90 mins prior to the start of each performance. The doors to enter the auditorium usually open 30 mins prior to the performance
Due to the nature of live performance, trying to find your way to your seat once a show has started can disrupt both the audience and the performers on stage. Therefore, most performances have a lockout period which restricts anybody from entering the auditorium until a suitable break in the performance. Depending on the performance, you may not be able to be seated in your original seat.
Packaged foods and cold drinks purchased at any of our theatre bars can be taken into the auditorium during the performance.
Hot drinks, glass and unpackaged foods will not be admitted into the auditorium.
No, unfortunately not. Therefore we recommend that patrons do not bring bags larger than a regular sized handbag or small backpack to the theatre.

Please note there is no elevator access to the Dress Circle & Upper Circle. Access to Athenaeum 2 is via our vintage lift which can only accomodate standard width wheelchairs.
