Welcome back to the 209th episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. With the theatres on a come back we offer a mix of both reviews of live shows we've seen and continued reviews of prophet productions! For our 209th episode we bring you a Duet Review of Oraculum, created and performed by Denim and Pythia, directed by ted witzel, and presented by Buddies in Bad Times Theatre. Join Mackenzie Horner and Ryan Borochovitz, as they discuss the aesthetics of drag performance, the legitimacy of tarot readings, and anxieties about the future.
Oraculum is playing at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre (12 Alexander Street, Toronto, ON) until December 14th, 2024. Tickets can be purchased from the following link: https://buddiesinbadtimes.com/show/oraculum/
This review contains many SPOILERS for Oraculum. It will begin with a general non-spoiler review until the [14:21] mark, followed by a more in-depth/anything goes/spoiler-rich discussion. If you intend to see the production, we recommend you stop watching after that point, or at least proceed at your own risk.
