ITALY: LISTEN TO YOUR NONNA

Europe, News & Politics

You might like to think that you’re the first to do something or that you’re living on the edge like no one before you – but you can bet, if you asked them, your grandparents have probably been there and done that!  Too often we don’t take the time to ask questions of our elders and listen to their answers.  But when we do, magic can happen – like this show’s cross-cultural, inter-generational magic in Italy.
  • What happens when you don’t quite fit the masculine Aussie-Italian culture?
  • How did conversations with an Italian Nonna turn into a queer stage show?
  • And what does Nonna think about her grandson writing and performing a show about her?
Hanging off every word of a bold Italian senior, we were joined by the very talented Samuel Dariol – writer and star of the stage show La Nonna in Melbourne’s 2018 Midsumma Festival.
Broadcast: 23 January 2018
