The tale remains the same: the immortal Orlando is a young man, a hedonist and rake, a poet and lover, who awakens one day transformed into a young woman. But inspired by such disparate themes as Chopin, astrophysics and the Great Frost of 1709, THE RABBLE have stripped Woolf’s Orlando down to a stark cosmological painting.

This Orlando drifts through space instead of time, through galaxies instead of centuries, to explore the dark passages of gender, sexuality and fragmented identity. At every step, she is opposed by the shadowy figure of Queen Elizabeth, who is also every lover, husband and wife Orlando has ever had: manly, virginal, mysterious and powerful.

A strange and provocative visual feast, Orlando is THE RABBLE in their element: subversive, restlessly inventive and grotesquely sublime.
