Persephone s Myth Music Video Premiere & Live Performance at Gorgeous George

Join us for the first screening of our music video, followed by a live performance of Persephone s Myth, Tanika Paschke-Moloi s music and storytelling show.

A contemporary retelling of a classic Greek myth through song and story.

Persephone grows up in a dusty mining town just outside Johannesburg, where her strange name and love of books alienate her from her peers. Her father, who dreamed of becoming a painter but became a miner instead, suddenly falls ill and dies.

She buries her grief, grows up and becomes a journalist. She thinks she s doing just fine, coasting through life until an assignment takes her back to her hometown to investigate a mysterious illness spreading through the community.

To uncover the truth, Persephone must descend into both the mine s literal underworld and her own unconscious, confronting what has been lurking there all along.
