ValôuriaN Theater unveils their first full-scale visionary living theater offering as conduits for this timeless story to unfold before your eyes, bringing the mythic realms of Shatter Spell to life through expressionistic dance & ritual embodiment.
“THE ORACLE SPEAKS
HER LIVING MANDALA EMANATES
A SPIRIT ROSE REMEDY
FOR THE SHATTERING OF SPELLS”
"A threaded light descends
The true sound of magic reweaves
This phantom crown
Arrayed as the Sun
A mirage of Diamond Sight
Recalling Visions
Of the Council of Roses
The Votaries of the Beloved
Dragon Guardians at Her back
Sister Queens in Oracle formation
The Doorway to the Muses Heart
Opens in parallel rhythmic Devotion
To the Song
at the Center
Of Everything"
Listen deeper
as the spells shatter
The Music

Let us rage, rage against the dying of the light
Let us Shatter the spells that prevent us from shining bright
Let us Break the chains that bind our might

CREATIVE TEAM
SubaqueousIsaac Cotec, aka Subaqueous, started making electronic based music in the summer of 2005 working with a project called Psyche Sonics.

Marya starkIn the space between art and persona there is magic. Marya Stark lives there. Drawing from influences as diverse as Classical, Broadway, Indie-Pop, Storytelling and Folk, Marya crafts a sound that is wholly original. As a multi-instrumentalist and multi-media enchantress, she creates the way she breathes; without choice or hesitation. She is a carrier of myth, mystery, and medicine songs with which she embarks to create a ceremony of the human experience, taking her audience on lucid journey's through the caverns of the soul. An award winning songwriter and vocal maverick, she is a mentor in the art of voice and song craft. She is mused by kindness, nuance, synchronicity, soul remembrance, and is a life-long chaser waterfalls.
