The Last Princess of Lebanon is a powerful one-woman show that traces the extraordinary journey of Amira (Princess) Nadia Abillama of Lebanon who migrated from the palace of Beiteddine to a humble Queenslander in the small town of Dalby, told by her great-granddaughter Nadia Milford through a compelling dance theatre hybrid performance of her own creation.

As young Nadia embarks on her own journey into womanhood, she begins to realise that the challenges her great-grandmother faced are not distant echoes, but are alive within her. In confronting these parallels, she discovers that her inheritance is not only one of bloodline but of emotional resilience, and that her path is not just about embracing a family legacy, but about questioning, redefining, and ultimately transforming it.

Set against a captivating soundscape of traditional Lebanese music and contemporary tracks, with sound design by Anna Whitaker, sets by Penny Challen and directed by Leah Shelton, The Last Princess of Lebanon is a deeply physical piece that seamlessly blends dance and theatre, forging a hybrid format that moves fluidly between these disciplines.

At its heart, The Last Princess of Lebanon is a deeply personal yet universal story—a testament to the enduring power of heritage and the strength of women to write their own stories.

The Last Princess of Lebanon was supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland, and the Regional Arts Development Fund, a partnership between the Queensland Government with Western Downs Regional Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
