In OMOS, four performers pay homage to a forgotten passage in the history of Black people at the 16th-century Scottish royal court. They reclaim history through drag, dance, opera and pole dancing in a Shakespeare-inspired forest and Stirling Castle, drawing on the past while looking to the future.
