“Listen, draw your chair up close to the edge of the rabbit hole, hold on tight and I will tell you a story. The tale of a man, a child named Alice, a White Rabbit, a Queen of Hearts, a Mock Turtle and a baby that turns into a pig. As you join me, however, beware for not all is as it seems in the land we shall visit. Here, roads may lead to nowhere and falls are neverending but if you stay for long enough you may find that little golden keys will lead to beds of bright flowers in the loveliest garden you ever saw.”Alice in Absentia is a story about discovery and growth, a story about time and the changes it brings in every corner of our lives. Exploring the relationship between its creator, Lewis Carroll and the little girl who inspired its creation, Alice Liddell, this adaptation of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland works its way through the complex emotions of wonder, shame, passion and regret. The project will unfold as a performative storytelling piece which draws upon tradition and digital-age storytelling practices, wherein the original text is curated by Giuliana Fenech and interwoven with an original musical score by Renzo Spiteri. Alice in Absentia is being presented by Open Works Lab and is supported by the Malta Arts Fund. Image credit: Lisa Falzon
