Sibylla
READ THE SIBYLLA DIGITAL PROGRAM
Sibylla is OUT NOW, available to stream for free on Spotify or Apple Music!
A study into loneliness, the tenuous boundaries of home, the inexorable nature of the past, and good old-fashioned homoeroticism, Sibylla is a tragedy with a ray of hope at the end.
Thank you to all of the talented artists who collaborated to bring this piece together. We couldn’t have done this without you!

Sibylla’s release is only FOUR DAYS away, on Friday, April 23!
In our countdown to release, it’s time to meet some of our wonderful artistic team that have worked incredibly hard to bring this project to life. Today we’re featuring Sibylla’s playwright, Lane Kittle-Kamp (they/them/theirs). Lane is currently a junior at USC studying Classical Languages & Literatures and Playwrighting. Sibylla is the first play they’ve ever written, and they can’t wait for you to hear it!
In Lane’s words, “This play is a tragedy of loneliness, language, memories, time, and fate—whatever that’s supposed to mean. I hope it makes you feel less alone.” Read more of Lane’s note as the playwright in the special Sibylla digital program available on release day!
Stay tuned THIS WEEK to meet more of Sibylla’s creative team and to hear from some of the amazing artists who have brought this project together.

SYNOPSIS
​
In the year 2030, the discovery of time travel yields a new form of research: the capability of going back in time to Ancient Rome and verifying previously unverifiable historical information. Sibylla follows the inner-lives and relationships within such a research department: Vic, the head of the department and her research assistant, Jess, John, a time travel agent and his trainee, Nate, Marianne and Chris, the operators and technicians of the time machine. However, when Nate accidentally causes an Ancient Roman not to go to Pompeii when Vesuvius erupts, the characters’s present reality shifts, unbeknownst to everyone besides John and Nate. As John and Nate scramble to set their reality back to normal, they begin a new mission to recover a lost series of prophecies from the Cumaean Sibyl. Yet as they grow more desperate in their attempts to fix the present, bouncing between the past and the future, reality becomes more altered and the nature of time and fate begins to intersect tragically for each character. An examination of loss, memories, and the implacable nature of loneliness, Sibylla examines the innate human desire to change and the aftermath when this fails.
