The Ego & The Oracle
Musical Improvisational Divination
Will you lose your job? Is it time to dump your boyfriend? Move to a new city? Run for office?
ASK THE ORACLE!
Boston-based band Jim's Big Ego presents an original theatrical production entitled The Ego & The Oracle - an evening of spontaneous musical divination.
Part improvisational theater, part cabaret, part audience participation, The Ego & The Oracle is a live stage spectacular where shuffle play meets the I-Ching. Audience members are invited on stage to ask personal questions of The Oracle. They then spin a giant wheel containing songs by Jim's Big Ego. When the wheel stops, the band performs the chosen song, which is then interpreted as the answer to the question by author Shawn Peters. The outcome can be humorous, inspirational and/or moving. At the end of the show, the band improvises a vamp while Jim reads and sings the unanswered questsions.
It is a light hearted show about synchronicity and it brings the audience together to discover we all have similar concerns and questions.
