The Last Sicilian
About
The Last Sicilian explores the vanishing heritage of the Sicilian language. It conveys a profound sense of disappointment in the impending demise of this linguistic tradition and its poetic existence.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.
Following the performance will be a talk on the Sicilian Language by Professor Joseph Lo Bianco
