PLOT

Oroburus’s symbol is a snake which bites its own tail ‘from the one to the one,’ encompassing everything reduced to one, the unit. The snake forms a circle which is a hole. The great circle of the cosmic unit which is everything and contains nothing. This film is a ritualistic fantasy based on Anthony of Egypt’s historical experience and Flaubert’s ‘St. Antoine’s Temptation’ to which extraordinary forces have been added, make-up and the streets of N..The highly coloured and sacred actors in this film all come from experimental N… theatres. Meredith Monk and his company make fabulous appearances and magic shows. The banquet with death is certainly very memorable to those who see it.
