REVIEW: The Last Sicilian, a poetic farewell to language and identity

The Last Sicilian, a play that forms part of the Festival of the Mother Tongue is supported by La Mama and performed at CoAsIt Italian Museo in Carlton. Director Laurence Stragio and performers Rosa Voto, Rosanna Morales and Irine Vela pack a punch from the moment you walk through the door. You, the audience member, form part of the community of mourners carrying salt for a deceased woman. The woman represents the mother tongue of the island of Sicily, Italy.
