VILLAGE STORIES
(Fa la Femmina)
written and performed by
Antoinette LaVecchia
with classic Italian music and original music by
John La Barbera
“Fa la Femmina” is an expression that means “be a lady” or “behave, you’re a woman” etc…This is what my Nonna said to me before she died on my last visit to Italy in 2006.
Village Stories (Fa la Femmina) is a collage of characters and stories from my Italian ancestry in one small Southern Italian town, ESPECIALLY the women. Village Stories weaves music and storytelling to tell the universal story of how the past informs our present and future. It explores the violence, the suffering, the joys and the never-ending ENDURANCE of these people of the Earth who kept moving forward in spite of everything.
