Fated by Berkson and Malina

The concept

Fated is a musical retelling of the Greek myth of Echo and Narcissus, exploring the multiplicity of companionship, feminine rage and our innate desire for revenge. Nemesis, the goddess of revenge is ready to punish Narcissus for mistreating Echo with a repeated musical taking place in purgatory, making it that he has to relive his punishment for the mistreatment of Echo over and over until he learns how he hurts the ones around him.

The writers

Olivia Berkson (she/her) and Hallie Malina (she/they) aka Berkson & Malina are a musical writing team known for their “distinctly feminine” folk- rock style with stories rooted in mythology, coming of age, and nature.

The combination of Malina’s deep and poetic words with Berkson’s dreamy and catchy melodies makes a beautiful balance that is Berkson & Malina.
