Performance at Harcourt Arboretum, Oxfordshire. The performer's props and actions a based on historical accounts of the pythia - the woman who acted as the conduit for the oracle at Delphi. Here she tries to see the future in spheres of glass, metal, clay and foam, and prophesies only through a set of wind-up teeth. Duration two hours.
