A Siren's Prayer

A Siren's Prayer is an original musical about a trio of sirens whose community has spent generations luring sailors to their death. That is until one sailor unexpectedly survives a shipwreck and washes up on their island. His presence begins to unravel a legacy of fear and vengeance, forcing both sirens and sailors to confront the stories they've inherited. Through music and movement, the piece explores how healing can break cycles of harm and open the door to collective liberation.
