Brink Productions Looking for Alibrandi

Commissioning Credit: Originally commissioned by Malthouse Theatre and co-presented by Malthouse Theatre and Belvoir Looking for Alibrandi By Vidya Rajan Based on the novel by Melina Marchetta Josie Alibrandi is in her final year of high school. Whip-smart and aspirational, she is a third-generation Italian teenager and scholarship kid, with the shadow of a family curse and a penchant for rule-breaking. Juggling grades, boys, and the claustrophobia of an overbearing nonna and saintly mother, Josie’s life becomes tangled in the webs of class, identity, and family history as she finds her place in a changing world. Iconic novel and cult movie, Looking for Alibrandi is the honest and empowered portrait of 1990s Mediterranean culture that spoke for the first time about systemic racism in Australia from a migrant perspective. It defined a generation and to this day resonates with those caught in the stranglehold of identity and othering in this country. Award-winning director Stephen Nicolazzo (Loaded, Merciless Gods) brought Melina Marchetta’s iconic best-selling novel - which she adapted into the cult 2000 movie - to the stage for the first time, where Vidya Rajan’s AWGIE nominated adaptation joined three generations of women in a passionate, heart wrenching, and unmissable rendering of the Australian classic. With live passata sauce making, traditional Italian music and a soundtrack of Australian pop classics, Looking for Alibrandi is a vibrant theatrical experience full of passion, laughs, and beauty. Now, as part of Brink’s next chapter, this hilarious, spirited and heart-warming production returns for a national tour starring original cast members Chanella Macri, Lucia Mastrantone, Jennifer Vuletic, Ashton Malcom, Riley Warner and Chris Asimos. Performed in English and Italian Director: Stephen Nicolazzo Writer: Vidya Rajan Set and Costume Design: Kate Davis Lighting Design: Katie Sfetkidis Sound Design: Daniel Nixon Musicians: Rosa Voto and Renato Vacerca Tarantella Choreography: Rosa Voto Dialect Coach: Paulo Bongiovanni Cultural and Language Consultant: Lucia Mastrantone ★★★★★ “Clever, heartening and well-crafted. Nicolazzo’s passion for the piece is palpable; his bold, stylised production is rich with symbolism but stark enough to allow the actors to give beautifully, distinctive performances full of detail and gravitas.” Theatre Matters ★★★★1/2 "This comical and beautifully honest look at cultural identity, class and trauma is brought to vivid life in director Stephen Nicolazzo and writer Vidya Rajan’s ridiculously enjoyable sunbeam of a production.” Arts Hub ★★★★ “Chanella Macri is perfectly cast” The AU Review ★★★★ “A heart-warming tale whose humour, honesty, radiant social relevance and narrative longevity can survive not only novel and film incarnations, but now, I’m delighted to report, a stage play too." Theatre Now “Dark and uncompromising. It will resonate with subsequent waves of migrants” The Australian “Achingly raw…painfully, beautifully rendered…Timeless” The Guardian Image Credit Daniel Boud
