About this Event

A poetic, multidisciplinary play that reimagines the ancient myth through the lens of migration, memory, and matrilineal inheritance. Set between a Sicilian kitchen and a New York piano, it follows a daughter caught between continents, cultures, and the silence between generations. Through original music, intimate monologues, and minimalist staging, Persephone explores autonomy, identity, and the cost of breaking free. Rooted in Mediterranean heritage and feminist inquiry, it speaks to the emotional terrain of diaspora.
