THE TROJAN WOMEN PROJECT at La MaMa Umbria International, is preparing to receive LITTLE AMAL whose WALK will pass through SPOLETO on Tuesday 14 September on her way to Assisi.?
Sara Galassini & OnniJohnson are pulling the final strings of Laura Bertolomei’s beautiful flock of puppet birds and training them to happily fly together to welcome LITTLE AMAL.
LITTLE AMAL’S WALK is a multi-national arts event led by playwright Amir Nazir Zuabi and the Good Chance Theater in England.?AMA, a 9 foot tall puppet representation of a Syrian child created by the Handspring Puppet Company, is walking from the Turkey/Syrian border to Manchester, England in search of her mother.?Over the course of five months walk through various countries, she will be greeted everywhere she goes by local artists and community members.

The Walk will draw attention to the ongoing migrant crisis, and the need for immigration reform world-wide.??
On Tuesday September 7th, over 20 international artists, many of them refugees hosted in Italy, will gather at LaMaMa Umbria International and dive into a creative journey during which they will collaboratively build a celebratory event to welcome Little Amal on September 14th?in Spoleto.

When Amal passes through Umbria on her way to Assisi, she will stop at LaMaMa Umbria International. In the beautiful outdoor spaces that for the past thirty years have welcomed international artists of all kinds, Amal will be welcomed with Birds and a Choir, an event for a chorus of singers, puppets, and dancers from the local and refugee community, many of whom already participated in a Trojan Women Project workshop, in 2019 with Onni Johnson and Sara Galassini.
