Molly will star as Kassandra in Overtone Industries’ production of “Cynossema: A Dirge from the Dog’s Tomb” as part of USC’s Visions and Voices Festival:

Mystical sound storyteller and opera composer O-Lan Jones and her multidisciplinary company Overtone Industries are joining forces with the theatre company By The Souls Of Our Feet to create a brand-new immersive theatre experience that explores the roots of the Hecuba myth that is personified by the iconic 20-foot statue of the Queen of Troy in University Village.

Incorporating live music using the ancient Greek Olympos’ pentatonic scale and exploring a mother’s grief-stricken revenge, Cynossema: A Dirge from the Dog’s Tomb tells a story of rage, power, misogyny, immense grief, and, ultimately, catharsis and healing that vibrates with impactful relevance today. The unique, one-time event will begin at the statue of Hecuba and proceed to the Physical Education Building for an unforgettable performance. 

A conversation with the new-yet-ancient opera’s creators and performers, and special guests including Christopher Slatoff, the sculptor of USC’s Hecuba statue, will follow.

Tickets are free. RSVP available starting March 1st here: Visions and Voices
