Odyssey Project Cancelled

We are very sad to announce the death of Cyrus Pun

We are very sad to announce the death of Cyrus Pundole, who died of lymphatic cancer on January 29. He had been ill for two years.

Cyrus had been involved in in situ:’s work for more than fifteen years and had been a member of our Board of Trustees for more than ten.

It’s hard to put into words his unique presence as a performer.

I think most of us would use the word : ENERGY.

He had an intense, wiry, electric physicality which was compellingly watchable; a wonderful mobile face that was by turns funny, terrifying and sad, and a huge voice which emerged surprisingly from his slight frame.

Many of in situ:’s performances take place outdoors and cover large areas of space. Cyrus was very fit and a very good runner and he brought a breathtaking athleticism to much of his work. In King Lear (2009), for example, he would think nothing of running up and down a hill a few dozen times and talking non-stop. A very exciting, talented performer.

Cyrus spent more time doing the work than talking about what it felt like, but, from several conversations, I got the impression that performing was for him a transcendental practice. He loved the focus and discipline of performing and felt that, when performing, he was in a special place. I think he felt happy, grounded and fulfilled when he was performing. I think it was a spiritual exercise for him.

So, there was his dedicated organisation and his amazing creative work.

But it wasn’t really even his work.

It was him.

He was kind, funny, wise, and, more recently, extremely courageous during a dreadful illness. He was absolutely bursting with life, and Death had its work cut out eventually getting the better of him.

All of us that worked with him and loved him are reeling at the loss of our friend, devastated by the suffering he endured and joyous with our memories of him.

Our thoughts go out to Cyrus’ family and his many other friends.

Richard Spaul. February 2022.
