This narrative performance, based on Queen of Flowers and Pearls by Gabriella Ghermandi, brings together storytelling, short readings, and traditional Ethiopian songs to explore themes of identity, migration, and the lasting impact of Italian colonialism. Through the story of an Ethiopian family across generations, the performance traces a journey from Ethiopia to Italy, highlighting memory, resistance, and cultural heritage. Presented in an intimate, storytelling style, the performance also features moments of live song and a visual transformation into traditional Ethiopian dress, creating an immersive and engaging experience.
