'For Alithea, today is yet another "of-course day". Like her Greek grandmother before her, Alithea's kitchen is filled with the bubbling smell of garlicky tomatoes cooking in wine. The toddlers are screaming, her man is away and there are buckets of nappies piling high. But this is Australia and a million miles from the Greek traditions of her grandmother's past. Or is it? My Of-Course Life is a rich emotional journey of one woman reconciling old ways with new. Through the inherited memories of other times past, of war and migration, dislocation and isolation Alithea explores her Australian lifestyle, creating new life rituals with some extra ordinary results. Writer/Performer Toni Allayialis takes us on a journey, mixing traditional and contemporary songs and storytelling to bring her Greek ancestors and madcap Australian family to life.'
