Produced, written and performed by Marthe A Andersen

«A Psychosomatic Psychic Requiem: The Sermon» is the second part of a performative musical requiem which follows a dying oracle of Delphi in her last hours. Visions of the past and future  are mixed together with the fear of non-existence and we explore the fragility of the human flesh in contrast to the divinity of her prophetic calling.

The second part centers around the traditional memorial service of the dead. We meet the master of ceremonies, a roman orator and the spirit of the last oracle.

The movie takes place on paintings which is digitally composed into the film by green screen technology. The movie is set to a self-composed score and lyrics, and the artist is singing all the roles her self,
