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.
Cosa succede quando una lingua muore? The Last Sicilian esplora l’eredità in via di estinzione della lingua siciliana. Trasmette un profondo senso di delusione nel testimoniare l’imminente fine di questa tradizione linguistica. In scena, la lingua siciliana si materializza come un personaggio che invecchia, invitando il pubblico ad assistere alla sua morte simbolica. Attraverso un percorso narrativo, il personaggio racconta la sua esistenza poetica, tracciando l’evoluzione linguistica dalle radici antiche alla scomparsa causata dall’abbandono. Il libro di poesie, THE LAST SICILIAN, e la sceneggiatura saranno in vendita a gli spettacoli.
