The Black Sea Oracle Games gives life to the fictitious story of Martha Rubin, an infamous oracle who performed on fairgrounds around Europe in the beginning of the 20th century. As an orphan of unknown origin she was taken into care by a travelling circus. Martha Rubin disappeared in the Romanian harbor city Constanza in 1913. From the years after her disappearance until this day the oracle has reoccurred in several European cities.
Her descendants have formed the Martha Rubin Society trying to understand the mystical traces that she leaves behind. In an ongoing ritual the followers of Martha Rubin put their lives in the hands of chance, playing a fatal game of ever changing identities.
During the 57 hours nonstop performance the audience can come and go as
they wish and stay as long as they want to, taking part in the games and
the daily life of The Martha Rubin Society.
