A calendar, with zodiac mythology illustrated on each page, started a childhood obsession with gods and goddesses, mythical creatures, mermaids, heroes and villains. When he was 10 years old, writer, director and producer Bass G Fam’s mum bought him a calendar that opened his eyes to a mythical world of wonder and imagination. A magical world full of tales from a decadent time. Tales that birthed the star constellations that formed the Zodiac signs we know today.
Over twenty years later, these myths and legends come to life like never before, reimagined by Bass and his team of renowned creatives at Bass Fam Creative. The team that brought you the award winning box office hit MATADOR, brings to you this star studded journey through the stars in ORACLE. Now it must be said… these tales have taken a more adult turn, exploring gender, sexuality, love, betrayal and life after death! From the seductive acts to the more profound, deep numbers audiences are taken on a journey through life, and death, and everything in between in what has been described as “Intoxicating… incendiary, breath-taking numbers set like jewels in a moment of time.”
Delivering these prophecies and myths is the otherworldly ORACLE. “Jazmin Varlet commands your attention as the ORACLE, her powerhouse voice both beautiful and hauntingly eerie” as she guides 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. Acclaimed as “expertly perfected blend of burlesque, circus, & dance, with an impeccable soundtrack”, ORACLE has it all. Exquisite belly dance paying homage to Bass’s Egyptian heritage… a captivating, powerful duo aerial straps routine that will have you on the edge of your seats… mind blowing contortion, a fire-breathing, gender flipped Hercules… a Goddess queen descending into hell on pointe… an angel with wings that span half the stage, as well as a plethora of other decadent gods & goddesses in next to nothing; shining and shimmering above you and all around you.
The handmade costumes, providing an injection of high fashion into the mix, pay homage to some of the biggest names of the fashion world that have inspired Bass over the years. Designed by himself, were made by Bass and his team during the 2020 Melbourne lockdowns, hand embroidered, beaded and crystaled to perfection, adding to the opulence of show. As articulated by Lillithia Reviews, the team at Bass Fam Creative “have taken every chance to throw their creativity at these well-known ancient characters and have put their sexy and bold signature spin on them. I thoroughly love how androgynous Bass makes some of the costumes, which I feel only adds another dimension to the shows, and further displays the passion and unique style that Bass Fam Creative is known for.”
Whether you believe in Zodiac Mythology or not, go and see this award-winning feast for the senses. From the haunting live vocals to the “erotic burlesque performances, seat-clutching circus acts & entrancing storytelling”, this will be a night out to remember! As articulated by The Advertiser in their 5-star review, “ORACLE sets a new benchmark in sheer spectacle!”
