Desecration Photos

We have just added a new batch of photographs to our 'Desecration' album,
performed last September at the Galleries of Justice, Nottingham.

Dead Language - Prague

FP leave for Prague tomorrow to live and work on Dead Language at a remote farmhouse that has been offered to us by a member of FP's family.

Lucy and I are still currently without a home, which suits us fine at the moment. Existing on the generosity of others restores your faith that everything just might turn out OK.

Expect pictures from Prague as work progresses. In the meantime I have loaded the first photos to the Desecration album.

Desecration come down

Well...most of us certainly look like we're on a come down from serious heroin addiction with all the bruises and injuries incurred from Desecration! However, it's been such an incredible building to have the opportunity to work (and play) within and all the physical pain and scars seem a small price to pay when we've been able to work with all the energies from the building in such an intimate way.

Anyway, on behalf of FP, I would like to say thank you to the following people for their support, talent, effort and commitment to Desecration:

Martin Jeffery, an incredible and true magickian, his wife Louise, Sulu and all at Fright Nights & Theatre of Ophidia for all their support,  without whom this production wouldn't  have happened. We can't wait to watch and be a part of future ventures!

All the talented cast: Tereza, David, James, Carina, Naia, Yiri, Nicole, Iara, Claire and Victoria. It's been such a pleasure and I can't wait to work with you all again.

All the members of staff at the Galleries of Justice who've been such help and devoted their time to our project, especially Laura and Trev!

Polly for all her commitment and support, and doing such an amazing job, and all the rest of the production team for devoting their time and effort into our project.

Victoria for her beautiful sounds, we couldn't imagine producing any FP productions without your magickal input; they just seem to be embedded in perfect synchronicity within all narratives.

Yiri for his perfect manic drawings, continually supporting us artistically and for throwing himself into FP (literally!)

Orryelle for his beautiful input on Sunday evening, we cannot wait to collaborate with you once again.

Christopher for his incredible poster.

Joyce, Karen, Finn & Gage Harrigan and Helen & Daniel Allin for their eternal support.

John for creating such a beautiful realm of Deluge for us all to exist, for being a genius: the pulsing heart of FP. It's a pleasure to work with you, (even the sharp and brutal moments!) I could never thank you enough.

Asmadai for gracing us with his presence.

 

Beautiful mother; gentle sharp eyes watching over us through time and ten dimensions. Deadly soft velvet pounding, DYL prowls our bounds.

The beast of FP for sustaining us; and the mysteries which forever shine upon us.

Spectral Light - Desecration Review

"The galleries are sleeping now, however the energies set in motion are not lost just circling through the ether waiting to be awakened again."

Desecration - Final Times

Photos from the final night of Desecration. Expect a photo album of images on FP later this week, along with after thoughts.

At the moment I need to heal all the cuts and bruises, literally had my back torn open last night, although other members of FP are in a much worse state than me.

Next up a week full of various interviews and casting for Dead Language.

Deluge

Is it possible to fall in love with a building. I believe so. Deluge has become my world and BenBen my home. The Galleries of Justice is a place of incredible power that through time has been home to terrible suffering. You can still feel it, if you allow yourself to pause as you wander the realm of Deluge. After the suffering and pain comes growth and learning. All you have to do is be willing to seek out the other-side of your demise.

What keeps us solid in those times when we are about to fall in the most terrible and awful manner, when something is trying to destroy us, to desecrate all we are. Is it the light inside us that protects our memory. Yes sometimes but more times than not its the darkness that resides in us all that keeps us solid, never allowing us to betray our beating hearts, to weaken or kneel before slavery or true Evil. Dragging our will to its feet kicking and screaming, as we beg to just relent and die.

The Demon that resides in us all is the darkness that will sustain us when everything else has left our sides. It will insure your ultimate survival.

Desecration is dedicated to the living memory of my Demon.

Desecration manifests this coming Tonight.

Last Nights Moon

Pictures above feature FP members - Nicole Avraamides, David Monard, Claire Tregellas in preparations for the Desecration ritual.

Desecration - Way In...

Just found a way in, after four days off the grid.

Preparations for Desecration are going well, sometimes too well. We've had at least one confirmed possession. Along with various other positive and strong biological reactions to the GLORY that is the Galleries of Justice.

I feel like I'm home, I could sleep in BenBen/ThePit.

FP, doing this one for the Demon.

Now that I have access again you should keep your wet little holes focused here (FoolishPeople.com) for updates on the journey towards the beginning of the manifestation of Desecration on the 6th of September.

Desecration will exist in the material realm for no longer than four days.

The gap closes on the 2nd of September after the last working. So its advisable to book early.

A clue, if you need to exist within the eye of the storm, then book your tickets for Friday the 7th of September. As we have something special in mind for this date.

Desecration is a Theatre of Ophidia and FoolishPeople production, it would be amiss of me to not mention that Desecration would not have ever even happened without the faith and insight of Martin Jeffrey the master mind behind Theatre of Ophidia and Fright Nights.

You still have time (retroactive time) to experience the various ripples of FoolishPeople's Dead Language at Esozone via the Internetz.

Phase II have a review of Dead Language for you.

Reflections again tomorrow around this time.

Congregation

I'm staying in Guildford tonight, before FP fly out at 12:30pm from Gatwick.

It's been a busy week, lots of meetings; ICA, potential production designers and costume designers, while also putting the final elements in place for pre production on Desecration.

Expect updates from me along the way and when we touch down in Portland.

Desecration - Christopher Eales

The Desecration poster is designed by the talented Christopher Eales who will be working with us on Desecration.

Desecration at Galleries of Justice - September 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th 2007

Inscription found within Father Lewis Wells Bible, Page 32
A Haunted Bloodline; the Wells Family: A Personal Portrait (Hardcover)

"One step, two steps, humble your history, quickly child, lest we idle and reveal the rawness of our hearts within the chapel of locks.

Shuffle softly into the Sinewy Tunnel. Please child, eyes averted from the Tetravalent, one socket sucked raw, red and dry.
Only one eye left.
 
Rather half the truth, than all a lie.

Step deep into his tide of darkness.
Feel the heat of the Suns first rays, here in Eden's deepest bowels. Kneel now dearest child, before his dusty throne.

All the mistrials of your life. All the misery of past blood.
Every angle of slotted worth. See, perhaps this is why we exist?

Look now child, as your truth is unveiled in this act of Desecration."

Deep down below the earth is the Deluge, birthplace of Desecration. Immeasurable darkness and ancient power: a primordial energy that has grown within the earth, since Eden’s first light.

The Desecration has fed upon the Wells family for over ten generations.

Now, Edward Wells, a fallen priest, part time escape artist, Magus and the blackest sheep that the Wells lineage has ever witnessed must enter into the realm of Deluge if he is to remove his family’s curse before Desecration is released upon humanity in a wave of decimation and suffering.

So who better to unlock the puzzle of Deluge than a down and out escape artist and natural born Sorcerer who combines all the mistakes of his family’s bloodline in one frail body?

Edward must traverse and survive every liars veil, Tetratravelent Goddess, Evil Turnkey, and King Demon of Deluge’s hyper dimensions to confront and learn why Desecration, a thing born in the first light of Eden wants to wipe his family from all of creation.

Dear Sir or Madam,

You are cordially invited to align with either Edward Wells or the entity Desecration in a magical pact, as you unlock the truth of the Demons that reside within your own family line.

Join Edward on his journey into the Deluge this coming September as you enter into the immense meta-narrative of Desecration within Nottingham’s infamous Galleries of Justice.

You are free to explore the entire manifestation, throughout the ritual in your own time, as you fall, forever deeper and closer to ultimate truth.

Theatre of Ophidia and FoolishPeople will redefine immersive magickal theatre as your will and intent are revealed via the various magical experiences offered within the realm of Deluge.

They deftly expose the hypocrisy of the "moral majority" by exposing the Demons within all our hearts and the awful outcomes that occur from never facing up to, or refusing to sit down and discuss who we really are with humanities closest living myths.

Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 0114 251 3232. "Desecration" runs from the 6th to the 9th September 2007

Theatre of Ophidia

Theatre of Ophidia have just launched their website, rather jealous of the beautiful logo. Theatre of Ophidia will be producing Desecration with FoolishPeople, for those of you that are paying attention.

Expect lots of very interesting projects to come from the Theatre of Ophidia.
