The Crowned Eagle Ring

In the spring of 2021, Ring van Möbius was approached by performer and choreographer Harald Beharie to write the music for his next solo performance. This honorable task started a collaborative process involving various artists with different artistic expressions, culminating in January 2022 with the premiere of “Batty Bwoy” in Dansens Hus in Oslo, Norway. The project was soon nominated for the Norwegian Critics Association Prize 2022.

A labyrinthine story of political ambition and intrigue based upon an unfinished screenplay by Orson Welles. Blake Pellarin is running for Governor of Missouri, but his real goal is to become president. When a dark shadow from his past threatens to expose a guarded family secret, Blake plots to placate his blackmailer by stealing his wife's jewels. However, an ambitious reporter and an overzealous campaign bodyguard, both privy to Pellarin's problems, have concocted plans of their own to exploit the aspiring Governor's conundrum for their own advantage.
