Pentow bil-Malti, produced by Pawlu Testa for 21 years and directed by Ray Abdilla, this year takes audiences to the underwater realm of Maltlantis.

The last three shows are taking place on January 5 and 6 at 7pm and on January 7 at 4pm.

Rodney Gauci stars in the role of Dame Balena accompanied by Kinetic Dance Academy and a live band led by Conrad Briffa.

In the pantomime, king Tritoni devised the ultimate plan to resolve the overfishing crisis at hand by marrying off his daughter Ariel to one of the sons of a fishing mogul. All would have worked out if only Ariel did not wish to go to the surface to chase her dream of participating in ‘Love Island’ in search of true love.

While Dame Barbra Letizia Morena K.A. BaLeNa is given the task of looking after Ariel, Pirate Jack Sparrow loses his ship to the forces of the sea and drowns. Ursula, the stickiest of them all, takes advantage of all this commotion and steals Tritoni’s magical tritarra, which is basically a guitar in the shape of a trident.

Will Jack live, and will Ariel find her true love? Will Dame Balena resolve Tritoni’s underwater crises? Head over to the theatre of the Catholic Institute in Floriana to find out.
