A collective reverberation to these tumultuous times channeled through Sinéad O’Connor’s debut album. Joining CHRISTEENE will be her carefully curated (and affectionately named) Fukkn Band, and longtime friends and allies who have been galvanized into action by CHRISTEENE’s rallying cry. CHRISTEENE determined that as the world continued to unravel, a unified response to ideologies “that threaten our way of life” was vital. Given Sinéad O’Connor’s work had resonated with CHRISTEENE for decades—“her capacity to survive, her private and very public wars with the church, her compassion and vulnerability”—she has chosen once again to conduct this greater message through the anger and energy of O’Connor’s debut album The Lion and the Cobra.

The Lion The Witch And The Cobra had its world premiere and was performed for one night only at The Barbican Centre in London, England, in September 2019. USC Visions and Voices is proud to present the U.S. premiere of The Lion The Witch And The Cobra and serve as one of two venues presenting the show in the United States.

This event is presented by USC Visions & Voices: the Arts & Humanities Initiative. Co-sponsored by the USC Roski School of Art and Design and the USC Thornton School of Music.
