Dear Mr. Sorbello
I am writing in support of the theatrical production ‘ Arrivi … Partenze’
‘ Arrivi … Partenze’ explores the migration experience through multimedia performance. This is a creative and innovative way of bringing the powerful and life-changing dimension of migration to a broad audience.
Australia has become home to 4 million migrants from all over the world. Our country and our state had benefited enormously from the economic, social and cultural contributions of migrants.
‘ Arrivi … Partenze’ will premier in Brisbane during Italian Week 2007 which will be an important celebration of the enrichment of multicultural Australia by Italian migration.
While Australian/Italian in its roots, ‘ Arrivi … Partenze’ tells a universal story and will strongly connect to the broader migration experience and, through that, the building of our state and nation.
Multicultural Affairs Queensland is very pleased to support ‘ Arrivi … Partenze’
Yours Sincerley
