MITOH
An artistic research into human metamorphosis.
MITOH is an artistic research exploring how myth, embodiment and performance can help us understand the transformative processes that shape human life.
Through theatre, performance, contemporary Butoh and participatory experiences, it develops works where art becomes a space for investigating identity, change and the living experience of myth.
Rather than simply representing stories, MITOH creates experiences where knowledge emerges through artistic practice and lived experience.

ABOUT
Olrland Verdú
I am a writer, artist and the creator of MITOH.
My work investigates the relationship between myth, embodiment, identity and artistic creation through theatre, performance, writing and participatory experiences.
As the founder and artistic director of ORACLES THEATRE, I develop performances, artistic laboratories and research projects that explore human metamorphosis through a contemporary artistic practice.
Between 2023 and 2026, part of this artistic journey was developed under the stage name Orlando Whales.
Every transformation begins by crossing a threshold.
