Isis Rises Operetta – Act 3

Summary Of Act 3 – The Sacred Tree Of Life

a- The stage screen shows the scenery, as Isis approaches the tree which the children told her about.

b- Isis moves towards the Tree and comes across a group of dancers representing maids ritualistically sweeping the ground around the tree with tree branches.

c- After 1-2 minutes Isis proceeds to join the maidens in their cleaning ritualistic dance.

d- A few minutes later, Isis could not wait any longer and she broke from the dancing maids and went towards the tree.

e- Very carefully she touched the tree with her forefinger – a lightning erupts and the stage goes dark for a second. Yes, the Tree contains the Body of Osiris. Isis is elated and she hugs the Tree – in essence she is hugging Osiris

f- To the tone[no lyrics] of Lama Bada Yatathana, Isis dances like a living tree in the breeze.

g- Having been reunited with Isis, the full moon appears in the sky for Osiris symbolizes The Moon – whose light is the reflection of the sunlight – as symbolized by Isis!

But this Full Moon is special because it is a Blue Moon – a rare occasion!

h- The seven maidens dance in the moonlight [symbol of Osiris] — the Fertility Dance.

i- Lights are dimmed and the screen shows an overview of the traveling route of Isis and the body of Osiris[after removing the surrounding Tree] – from the tree site to the shoreline, across the open waters of the Mediterranean Sea and back to Egypt — in the marshes between the town of Damietta and Lake Manzala.
