The Last Sicilian premierehttps://lamama.com.au/whats-on/festival-of-mother-tongues-2024/the-last-sicilian/
What happens when a language dies?
The Last Sicilian explores the vanishing heritage of the Sicilian language. It conveys a profound sense of disappointment in witnessing the impending demise of this linguistic tradition.
On stage, the Sicilian language materialises as an ageing character, inviting the audience to witness its symbolic death. Through a narrative journey, the character recounts its poetic existence, tracing the linguistic evolution from ancient roots to neglect-induced demise.
The poetry book, THE LAST SICILIAN, and SCRIPT will be available for sale at the performances.
