EXHIBITION SEPTEMBER 9-11 Erbatax-il Vers The Strada Stretta Concept; under the artistic direction of Giuseppe Schembri Bonaci, under the auspices of the Val- letta 2018 Foundation presents 'Erbatax-il Vers', a collective multi-media exhibition and performances, under the direc- tion of Georgemario. Erbatax-il Vers is an anthology of 100 po- ems penned by Alfred Grech. The anthology evolved into an initiative which strives for transformation through aspira- tion by inspiration. To do so, a number of artists from various disciplines work together to present multi-sensorial expe- riences, creating a dialogue in various languages for different audiences in specific spaces. The dialogues can be viewed at Splendid in an open space daily between midday and mid- night till 12th September with a performance on Sunday, 9th of September and repeated shows on the 10th and 11th September at 7:30pm. Entrance is free. 5 OCTOBER – NOVEMBER 2 Parallel Existences In his long-awaited new ex- hibition, celebrated photogra- pher Alex Attard creates alter- native identities for historical, centuries-old documents that were severely damaged during the war, and which have since formed part of the Notarial Ar- chives in Valletta. These never seen before, mangled and dis- torted volumes have lain static, buried in boxes, out of sight, for decades – their reason for be- ing, gone. Parallel Existences will be on show at Valletta Con- temporary in Valletta between 5 October and 2 November 2018. THEATRE SEPT 14 -23 Stitching The banned play, Stitch- ing, will finally be showing in Malta, at the Manoel Theatre next September.

Tickets for the 18+ play can be found on the Teatru Ma- nuel Website at 20 euro. SEPTEMBER 14- 16 Kazin Barokk Każin Barokk is a Valletta 2018 project and consists of a hybrid performance where visuals and music intertwine, taking extracts from "Le Jouer" by Francois Renard. The per- formance explores if and how Maltese culture is being gam- bled away. This promises to be a soul-searching journey where art, people, robotics, past, pre- sent and future come together to form a 'Baroque pastiche' based on local, contemporary identities. Kazin Barokk will take place at Notre Dame Gate Triq Il - Kottonera, Vittoriosa. SEPTEMBER 28-29 Sfumat Sfumat recounts the story of Alex, in the words and actions of those around him, particu- latly his father Charles, and his daughter Maria. Alex never ap- pears on the play, with the audi- ence forming their own opinion based on what the other char- acters reveal. The production, held at the Salesian Theatre, al- so marks ten years of the Sale- sian Worship Team. OCTOBER 4-14 US/THEM The animated narrative, 'US/ THEM', which sees brutal ter- rorism coinciding with child- like innocence, is coming to Strait Street. On 1 September 2004 – the first day of school, or Russian 'Knowledge Day' – a group of Chechen terrorists stormed into a school in the small town of Beslan, taking 1,200 hostages. The siege lasted three days. Hostages were con- fined within the walls of the school's gymnasium. The mas- sacre left 334 dead, including 186 children. OCTOBER 5-14 The Jew of Malta This October, the MADC and Teatru Manoel are pro- ducing Christopher Marlowe's classic 1590s play The Jew of Malta. Director Chris Gatt describes the play as a "Dark, hilarious and subversive tragic-comedy. The Jew of Malta takes no prisoners as Marlowe cynically dissects a world where politics, greed and the three Mediterranean religions – Catholic, Muslim, and Jewish – clash; skewering all three as he weaves a fast- paced story at once tragic, far- cical, and absurd.
