A Sicilian history in three acts: from the scene to the glass, to the table is much more than a cultural event: it is an immersive journey into the Sicilian identity that, at the Italian American Museum in New York, turns into a living and shared experience. The event, which will take place on 17 April, was conceived by Anissa Felix, founder of AF Theatricals, actress of Broadway and theatrical director, and builds a path in three distinct but deeply connected moments, where narration becomes the red thread that combines scenic art, wine culture and gastronomic tradition.
To open the evening is the theater, with Peppino Impastato, a show for only one interpreter written and interpreted by Ignazio Chessa. An intense work that returns voice and memory to the palermitan activist, symbol of the fight against mafia. The stage is enriched with animated projections taken from the award-winning graphic novel Peppino Impastato: A jubilee against the Mafia of Marco Rizzo and Lelio Bonaccorso, creating a visual and narrative dialogue capable of amplifying the involvement of the public.
The second act carries guests on a sensory journey through wine, with a tasting led by Debora Greco di Baglio Bonsignore, a winery located in Naro, in the province of Agrigento. The wines, awarded with international awards such as the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, tell a contemporary Sicily, dynamic and deeply linked to its territory, offering an authentic and innovative reading of the island’s wine tradition.
To close the evening is the third act, dedicated to conviviality and taste. The Sicilian aperitif signed by chef Salvatore Fraterrigo of Norma Gastronomy offers a selection of traditional specialties designed for sharing, transforming food into an additional instrument of cultural narrative.
Entirely in Italian, the event is a meeting point for the Italian community of New York, involving professionals of culture, enterprise and academic world. A Sicilian history in three acts: from the scene to the glass, to the table thus becomes a virtuous example of how the roots can be told and reinterpreted beyond the border, keeping intact their identity and opening up to international dialogue.
