West Coast Premiere of Kassandra

April 21, 2018

Los Angeles, CA- Morgan Lariah and Barbara Mueller-Wittmann team up to present the West Coast Premiere of a fresh adaptation of Kassandra, a solo piece performed and produced by Lariah and directed by Mueller-Wittmann. As part of the 2018 Hollywood Fringe Festival, Kassandra will be presented at the Broadwater Studio (1078 Lillian Way, Los Angeles 90038) on June 2nd, 8th, 16th, and 22nd.

In this neoclassical solo performance that employs Object Theater and adapted from the beloved German novel by Christa Wolf, Kassandra retells the story of the Trojan War. Humanizing this mythical figure, Kassandra breathes life into the timeless tale as we see Kassandra pit herself against the political forces responsible for the war that destroys everything she knows and loves. For decades Kassandra has been performed all over the world, and now she finally makes her way to Los Angeles during one of our most politically polarized of times.

Kassandra will be presented Saturday, Jun 2nd @ 11a
