Ordo Discordia

The Story

A Rebel's Voice Six Centuries Out of Time.

Ordo Discordia is the story of a man finding his voice in an unreasonable age, after falling out of time and into the Middle Ages. Facing famine, plague, and language barriers, he learns to live his truth and gains the strength to oppose the cruel nature of power and fear that rule the land.

Ordo Discordia inspires us to confront cruelty and evil while standing up for what's right. It's a protest album disguised as a punk musical, written during protests, ICE raids, and a political climate that demands answers, in song.

Ordo Discordia is created by the multi-disciplinary artist Tank, whose career spans actor, singer, songwriter, artist and designer. Tank chose to channel this moment of political urgency into art because story, song, and sound surpass suffering to bring people together. Tank is currently exploring partnerships to transform Ordo Discordia into a live stage musical.

04 Winter 1518 Fate gifts the time traveler a savior — a woman burdened by loss, land scarcity, and children she cannot afford to lose. She gently nurses the time traveler back to civility, teaches the basic language, and introduces him to the townsfolk. 1519 Working the land, protecting his benefactor's home, and sharing in the daily labor of survival, the time traveler learns the unspoken truth of this world: famine is not caused by empty fields, but by full granaries kept closed by orders enforced without mercy. The time traveler starts a bread riot. Ash in Their Loaves
