Us Girls We Won't Put One Another Away

Supported by the City of Melbourne Arts Grants, this original production by singer-songwriter Ilaria Crociani showcases a collection of new songs capturing the utterly fascinating stories of long-forgotten women of Colonial Victoria in the second half of the 19th Century. Telling the real stories of Little Lon’s renowned Madame Fraser and Sara Saqui, singing the dramas of convicts Janet Dibben and Elizabeth Scott or remembering the courage of feminists and businesswomen like Brettana Smyth and Alice Anderson, this show is a travel in time to celebrate humanity. Thanks to CO.AS.IT., the show also remembers the experiences of Italian migrants like Enrichetta Righettini, whose wooden trunk is a permanent exhibit on display at CO.AS.IT. Museo Italiano.
