Frequently Asked Questions
What
are the Rites of Eleusis?
The Rites of
Eleusis are a series of seven plays written by Aleister Crowley in 1910
and performed in succession that year. They are regularly performed by OTO
bodies around the world.
How
did you get started?
Why are you doing the Rites out of order?
That's a long story.
Will
you be doing more of the Rites of Eleusis in the future?
Yes!!! The Rite of Venus, is scheduled for June/July 2007. Audio samples
are available. The Rite of Mercury is tentatively scheduled for Summer
2009.
Why
does it take so long between shows?
While the scripts for the Rites of Eleusis are already written, there is not
much blocking or characterization in them. They were intended to be performed
in a more ritual fashion. We analyze the script and interpret the story, then
compose all of the music. Then we begin the process of finding the cast and
producing the show.
