Donato's Artifact

A live seance / RPG by Donato's Artifact. Vicus Choram ("Village Dance") refers to an early American pilgrim newspaper, while evoking a collective trance. Despite being the second half of this program, it can be enjoyed as a standalone work. Thank you for listening.

The artifact reveals itself as something new each day. Unveiling itself, unclothing itself, unclothing us.

From the ceiling hang frayed ropes and ragged banners depicting coats of arms. In one corner, a pile of rusty swords lean, forgotten. This room feels like an epilogue, rich and fleeting, the last sentence of an epic story...

At night, when there is no moon, the senses are allowed to bloom fully and the desert unveils its deeper secrets.

The egg can evoke many things: Life and its fragility, a secret gift hidden in a nest, an idea ready to grow, the first home, the origin.

The sky at night is a palace of dreams.

A maze of fantasies, endless and surreal.

There is a veil between us and the rest of the universe and it is embroidered with symbols, unfamiliar, and beautiful.

To see beyond this veil, we must read the symbols carefully, and interpret them as we can.

The mist ahead opens up to us, ushering you inside. The darkness is becoming clearer. We are hunting for something deeper still, beyond our sight.
