Sibyl Sessions, the third and final chapter in the trilogy of contemporary mythological adaptations by Kulturscio’k Live Art Collective, following Medea’s Visions and Oreste Will Be Back. Presented at the Parco Archeologico di Cuma as part of Festival Antro, the piece continues the collective’s commitment to blending radical stagecraft with social commentary.
This site-responsive performance is a mixed media exploration of womanhood, prophecy, and time, layering romantic nostalgia for the past with dystopian visions of the future. Drawing from the ancient figure of the Sibyl, the piece invokes themes of collapse, foresight, and resistance.
Directed and performed by Alessia Siniscalchi, Sibyl Sessions interweaves film, photography, projections, sound, and live music, creating an immersive aural and visual experience. The performance features:
Phil St. George, composer and live performer• Benjamin Sillon, lighting designer, whose symbolic helmet-projector evokes the oracle’s role
Giovanni Ambrosio, visual artist, presenting new work from his text-based series Prophecies and Pronouncements
Ambrosio’s intervention incorporates large-format text fragments, merging printed language and light. Words become oracles—etched into space, spoken through gesture, and echoed in silence. As in his wider practice, language appears both as document and action, inviting spectators into a space where prophecy is political.
More than a performance, Sibyl Sessions is a contemporary ritual, a threshold between myth and present-day crisis, in which technology, gender, and memory converge.
