Description:

Bear your testimony and watch your tongue! Luscinia brings Ovid’s Philomela and Procne myth to the American South at the height of the Great Depression. An upbeat folk-musical with a tragic end: this Gothic adaptation combines comedy and tragedy as sisters attempt to escape their fundamentalist cult. Who will sing when you’ve lost your voice? And who will save you when the Gods won’t? The girls will have to navigate their love and hate for the charismatic preacher, Bo, and decide if salvation and freedom can be found in the same man.
