Augurium


Augurium is a sanctuary where oracles reside and offer counsel to human souls. This guild of oracles guide the seekers by helping them tap into different dimensions within themselves.


Augurium invites you to visit different mysterious stations and embark on a journey within yourself. These installations and performances are personal and exclusive. Only the lucky ones get to interact with our colorful, mystical and mad creatures at Augurium!


We presented this performance at CTM Festival during Vorspiel in January 2022 and are looking forward to new opportunities to bring it to more places!

Dondo’s Lucid Dream

Dondo is a rather spiritual forest creature that has a strong feeling that it is currently lucid dreaming. Sitting around a candle shrine, he is trying to find evidence for being in a dream and beguiles visitors into this quest, questioning the ‘reality’ of the world, their life, and ultimately who we are.

Chest of Mirrors

Iris is an oracle who transmits information from a hidden pool of consciousness deep within oneself. She invites humans to tune into a topic and guides them into drawing a card from a magical deck. Through watching a video connected with the card they drew, humans may access the oneiric realms of their inner wisdom.

This time he has brought the portal to the higher dimensions themselves! Step inside the big blue box (it’s even bigger on the inside), and travel on a journey empirically proving the capacity for free will, even within a deterministic reality.

Similar is a sparkling poetic dreamling who strives to make the world a better place by helping humans reach their dreams. Visitors to this mysterious oracle can ask a question to help unlock their dreams. She consults her sacred waters and delivers answers in riddles and rhymes.
