Architect of Catastrophe
Flora, the goddess of flowers, dukes it out with a primordial trickster who is causing all sorts of chaos. Architect of Catastrophe is a multimedia playlet about Tulipmania - a hysteria in 17th century Holland during which everyone was buying and selling tulip bulbs for outrageous prices. A reworking of an earlier piece called Alchemy of Tulips, this condensed version packs a wicked punch.
