In this storytelling show, Francesco Turrisi explores his Sicilian roots through original piano compositions that reflect on the idea of migration: both of his family away from the island, and the more recent arrival of migrants from North Africa.
The show features not only Francesco’s own voice and music, but also the voices of Sicilian people recorded during the 1940s and 50s, as well as pre-recorded poetry read in Sicilian by Ester Pantano and Nino Provenzano, and in English by celebrated actor John Turturro.
