These never seen before, mangled and dis- torted volumes have lain static, buried in boxes, out of sight, for decades – their reason for being, gone. Parallel Existenc- es will be on show at Valletta Contemporary in Valletta until 2 November 2018. SEPTEMBER 25 – OCTOBER 27 Nisga: Storja Kontemporanja Can the Maltese artist be defined? … is there a pref- erence for particular topics or themes ? … and does the nation come into this defini- tion? A team of curators and creatives have come together to present the complex and multifaceted identity of the Maltese artist. Twentieth century works of art from public and private collec- tions, including works in traditional media juxtaposed against video art, have been carefully chosen to create meaningful dialogues. Works on display include key pieces, some of which have rarely been on display or mostly known through books. The event is free at Spazju Kreattiv. THEATRE OCTOBER 13 - 28 Tebut Isfar Ġorġ has lived with his daughter in his little coffin- making shop in Valletta for all he can remember. But now a developer has set his sights on buying the shop to build a boutique hotel. His wife comes along and makes a strange re- quest. She wants a yellow cof- fin. Could Ġorġ be tempted to sell? But what is the big secret he is hiding in the kitchen? This play will be staged at VCT (ex MITP), Valletta in Octo- ber 2018. The script will be published. The play is written by Clare Azzopardi and will be directed by Marcelle Teu- ma. The cast is made of Peter Galea, Leigh Ann Abela, Mari- ele Zammit and Anthony Ellul. OCTOBER 19 - 28 AMADEUS by Peter Shaffer – Masquerade Theatre Company The world-renowned Peter Shaffer play 'Amadeus' will be staged by Masquerade Theatre Company at the Teatru Ma- noel later this year. Directed by Stephen Oliver and featuring some of Malta's finest perform- ers as the play's leads and sup- porting roles, the cast includes Thomas Camilleri as Mozart and Manual Cauchi as Salieri. 'Amadeus' follows the lives of composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri in a fictionalised history of their intense competition in 18th century Vienna, and Salieri's bitter envy in the face of Mo- zart's musical genius. Amadeus will have six performances at Teatru Manoel, Valletta be- tween 19-21 & 26-28 October 2018. Tickets will be available via www.teatrumanoel.com.mt OCTOBER 19 -28 De-terminated: The Abortion Diaries Premiering in October, 'De- terminated' weaves out the in- tolerance, the frustration and cacophony eclipsing the abor- tion issue in Malta. Based on one-on-one interviews carried out in 2017, the one-act play brings out the stark reality of a dilemma often played out behind the scenes. With the strictest abortion laws in the world, is Malta suppressing women's rights or is the coun- try really preventing murder of the unborn?

Kenneth MacMillan choreographed a complex work around the psychologically tormented heir to the Habsburg Empire, Crown Prince Rudolf. From the ballet's start, the glam- our of the Austro-Hungarian court is contrasted with un- dercurrents of sexual and political intrigue that drive the story to its violent climax in a double suicide. The large cast allows for impressive ensembles in addition to the ballet's many solos of dis- tinctive character and pas de deux of disturbing eroticism. This ballet, bursting with intensity, madness and pas- sion, proves that sometimes the truth is more scandalous than fiction. Watch it at Eden Cinema at 15:00.
