Orghast

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Orghast was the CIRT's first public performance at an international event. Peter Brook and Ted Hughes collaborated to create a comprehensive myth, weaving in and out of the Prometheus myth, to be performed at the Shiraz/Persepolis festival in Iran, which had given the group its first commission. It was written in an invented language that Hughes called Orghast, and this eventually also became the name of the piece.
