THEATRE AUGUST 31 AND SEPTEMBER 2 Ahna Refugjati The opera, which is the first Maltese work of its kind, ad- dresses timely concerns in the Euro-Mediterranean region, the human cost of large-scale immi- gration and the universal theme of loss as a result of political convenience, racism and preju- dice. Aħna Refuġjati recounts the story of Eleja, his wife Shari, and their three children aged 20, 18 and 10, who flee from their war-torn village in Syria after witnessing atrocities during the civil war, in hopes of a better life in Europe. The opera follows the family's struggles with crossing borders, the lack of basic human rights, racism, separation and loss, on a journey motivated by hope.
