Dive in to Trinacria Theatre Company’s first storytelling album recounting the classic Sicilian legend of Colapesce. Long ago, in a time of disaster, a fisherman’s son named Nicola discovers he has a remarkable ability - but does he have the courage to help his community in their time of crisis? Based on Trinacria’s 2016 play La Storia di Colapesce, this new audio version features a full cast of actors, a rich musical score, and an epic and enchanting story that listeners of all ages can enjoy.
Listen to a sample
“Long ago there lived a fisherman's son who spent so long at sea the people called him a "half boy, half fish". But there are stranger things lurking in the waters of the Strait of Messina: ancient myths and terrible dangers…”
Colapesce: An Audio Adventure is an enchanting storytelling album that brings the legendary Sicilian folktale to life through original music and the voices of eight actors and musicians. A perfect listening experience for all ages.
Developed from Trinacria Theatre Company’s acclaimed debut production La Storia di Colapesce, this immersive audio adaptation captures the magic, humor, and heart of the beloved myth. Recorded with the same ensemble that created the stage play, it carries the spirit of Sicily—its sea, its songs, and its people—into your home or headphones.
La Storia di Colapesce was conceived and created collaboratively by 2016 Trinacria Theatre Company founding members Josephine Cooper, Sean Devare, Quinton Kappel, Elena Kritter, Mariagrazia La Fauci, Kathleen Lewis, Dario Ladani Sanchez, and Max Sklar. Script adapted for audio by Quinton Kappel, Mariagrazia La Fauci, Max Sklar, and Sean Devare.
Special thanks to: David Crystal, Iyvon Edebiri, Ehren Hanson, and John Minigan.
“Tanto tempo fa viveva il figlio di un pescatore che trascorreva così tanto tempo in mare che la gente lo chiamava ‘mezzo ragazzo, mezzo pesce’. Ma nelle acque dello Stretto di Messina si nascondono cose ancora più strane: antichi miti e terribili pericoli…”
Colapesce: Un’avventura sonora è un incantevole audiolibro che dà nuova vita alla leggendaria fiaba siciliana attraverso musica originale e le voci di otto attori e musicisti. Un’esperienza d’ascolto adatta a tutte le età.
Ispirato alla celebre produzione teatrale La Storia di Colapesce, questo adattamento audio ricrea la magia, l’umorismo e l’anima di un mito senza tempo. Realizzato dallo stesso ensemble di artisti, porta con sé lo spirito della Sicilia—il suo mare, le sue canzoni e la sua gente—direttamente nelle tue cuffie.
La Storia di Colapesce è stata ideata e creata in forma collaborativa nel 2016 dai membri fondatori della Trinacria Theatre Company: Josephine Cooper, Sean Devare, Quinton Kappel, Elena Kritter, Mariagrazia La Fauci, Kathleen Lewis, Dario Ladani Sanchez e Max Sklar.
L’adattamento del copione per la versione audio è a cura di Quinton Kappel, Mariagrazia La Fauci, Max Sklar e Sean Devare.

LENNI LIPPI | LA VOCE DI NEW YORK
“Colapesce: an Audio Adventure smells a little bit like the Mediterranean sea. And that’s because it originated in it. It’s performed in English by American actors but you can imagine the Italian sound of it, because the work was able to absorb some of the local essence. That’s the importance of 'living the experience'.”
NINA RHODES | SOUND ENGINEER
“Well done. The editing and sound mixing was incredible. It did NOT sound like you guys were playing your parts all over the world. ... Exceptional! It was seamless as though you guys were in a studio proper... and the acting [is] superb.”
SHAWN CODY | ACTOR/WRITER, THE WATER DREAM
“High quality production. Textured and vivid. It’s more than an audiobook. I was transported right away.... A great combination of prose, acting, theatricality, sound production, and using the audience’s imagination. A marvel.”
JAMIE GARNER | ACTOR/WRITER
“It's such an evocative, magical piece. Well acted and executed, and great fun to listen to.”
