L-Għarusa ta’ Ġużè Diacono
After last weekend's debut, Teatru Malta and Heritage Malta are staging the adaptation of Ġużè Diacono’s L-Għarusa by Immanuel Mifsud for one last time today.
This year marks 100 years from Diacono's birth and 20 years from his passing.
The mystic play focuses on the mental and emotional torments of a sister who swears herself into sisterhood after witnessing her beloved drown to his tragic death in front of her very eyes.
The key cast is made up of Marceline Galea, Jacob Piccinino, Moira Muscat and Charlotte Formosa. The piece features a set design by contemporary Maltese artist Austin Camilleri.
The play in Maltese, certified 15+, is being staged at The Armoury in Vittoriosa at 8pm. For tickets, click here.
After the show, there will be a Taħdita Teatru on mysticism, religion and spirituality. Actors, writers, priests and researchers will be in attendance.
The project is supported by the Fondazzjoni Ċelebrazzjonijiet Nazzjonali and Arts Council Malta.

VISUAL ARTS
Landmarks
Artist Fabio Borg's eighth solo exhibition at The Phoenicia, in Floriana, closes today.
Borg construed this collection of abstract landscapes, tilted Landmarks, as innate emotions being expressed onto canvas and painted by instinct. The paintings, therefore, become emotional landmarks that Borg invites the viewer to partake in.
Borg is sensitive to his surroundings and trees, or the seeming lack thereof, is one such issue often a topic of heated discussions. Therefore, these compositions, largely produced in the last two years, trees are the main protagonists in an idealised reinterpretation of nature.
Landmarks, on display at The Phoenicia’s Palm Court Lounge, is curated by Charlene Vella.

Artist Darren Tanti is presenting an art project meant to shed light on the mediatic processes used to spread information about war and its effects on the viewer.
The work reflects the artist’s preoccupation with fabrication, editing and twisting of information people outside the conflict zone might be subjected to.
The project is meant to provoke viewers by a number of analytical, ironic, and at times, cynical works based on factual, fictional images and theoretical work. Different experts from journalism, film, art, education and the military fields will also contribute to the project via a number of talks and workshops.
Inaction is a Weapon of Mass Destruction, curated by Melanie Erixon is open at Space C, Spazju Kreattiv, Valletta, and at Il-Kamra ta' Fuq, Mqabba. The exhibition will close on December 4 at both venues.
