Gozo’s regional carnival will be organised in Victoria on this day. There will be a defile’ along Republic Street with the participation of ‘Tama Tnabar’ and ‘Big Friends Guggen Musik Malta’. Grotesque masks, dance companies, floats, bands, hilarious sketches and the traditional Komittiva will also be featuring.
Republic Street will also be turned into an open space theater to host ‘B’Tal-Linja Jaqbillek‘. This is a story that revolves around a Maltese bus which, actually, will be the cast’s touring vehicle; a splendid specimen of our beloved Malta-built buses refurbished to its former glory. The audience will be invited to watch the live performance up-close and personal. Everyone will experience it differently, you can get chairs, stand-up, sit down on the zuntier, at the cafeteria close-by, or just in front of the actors. In fact, it’s all free to watch! Think of the audience watching the purċissjoni ritual, the lovely tradition of teatrin, the conversations għana-style spiced up with a pinch of carnival, a dose of festa, and a spoonful of Maltese humour.
