Isle 80

At the heart of Carlo and Alberta's home in Trieste, or in the modest apartment of their cousin Alice, recently widowed, we encounter their aunt Teresina, her nurse Clelia, the endearing Telvi and the penniless painter Sereni. The characters, caught in their everyday lives between frustration and dreams, are accompanied by the smile of protection and self-mockery dear to the Italian author Italo SVEVO. The action takes place in Trieste, in 1920.

The Two Cousins

ISLE 80

A curated evening given to a storyteller who showcases unpublished pieces and essays, followed by a drink and a discussion. A work-in-progress show built around tales from Rwanda and The Little Shepherdess, a version of Cinderella.
