Syrma, A Dystopian Drama on the Power of Dreams

The Center for Italian Modern Art (CIMA) is presenting a reading of the dystopian drama Syrma, written by award winning actress and writer Carolina de’ Castiglioni. In the world of Syrma, free will does not exist. In its place are three all-powerful women, The Moire, who determine the life course of each individual. They control these lives with their magical strings, which can be spun (or severed) at whim. But when a mysterious golden string is created, its human counterpart gains a unique ability to choose her own path. Syrma explores the burden of free will and the cost of following one’s dreams.

The cast includes Carolina in the lead role, Sofía Figueroa, Agathe Westad, Christina Goursky, Emerson Reed, Seeni Chandran and Bella Kouds. The reading is directed by Lizzy Fruehling. The reading will be followed by a classic Italian aperitivo with drinks courtesy of CAMPARI GROUP.
