ASCLEPEION // Ron Atheywith Carmina Escobar, Federica Dauri, Hermes Pittakos + Myrgon


Poster design courtesy of the artist.

 ASCLEPEION is a ritual performance installation by Ron Athey, rooted in his lifelong testing of the body as a site of healing, sacrifice, ecstasy, and transformation. The work brings ancient practices of purification, prophecy, dream incubation, and votive offering into collision with Athey's inheritance of ecstatic healing, the HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 pandemics, somatic therapy, and strange science.

Developed through field research with longtime collaborator Hermes Pittakos at the Asclepeion of Epidaurus, the Eleusinian Mysteries, and the Oracle at Delphi, ASCLEPEION reimagines the ancient healing temple as a living, contemporary ritual environment.
