BellaLuna Productions with Vancouver's Italian Cultural Centre present the World Premiere of FRESCO, a new play by award-winning playwright Lucia Frangione, developed with the BellaLuna Ensemble.
When Rosina, a present-day Vancouverite, inherits the family home in the city's Strathcona neighbourhood, she looks through the keyhole of her past to find its ghosts, history and family secrets.
She uncovers generations of secrecy surrounding her Italian grandfather's internment during World War II, when Fascist Italy joined forces with Nazi Germany. The move put Italy at war with Canada and threw Italian communities across Canada under deep scrutiny and suspicion.
FRESCO celebrates the resilience, spirit and achievement of BC's Italian Canadian community during a little-known but life-changing period in its history.
FRESCO is presented in Burnaby by the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts and is part of the ICC's Project "A Question of Loyalty" funded by the Government of Canada.
