EXHIBITIONS NOVEMBER 8 – 29 Saudade - Paintings by Gabriel Buttigieg In his new body of work Ga- briel explores with beauty the strained nature of experience.

'Saudade' opens on the 8th November 2018 at Palazzo de la Salle, Re- public Street, Valletta, and runs until the 29th November 2018. NOVEMBER 17 – DECEMBER 9 Vo eracity Lazuli Art Gallery – a Fair Trade Gallery of Primitive Art which also curates contempo- rary exhibitions of both local and international artists in win- ter – is launching the first col- laborative exhibition of father and son Paul & Thomas Scerri, of sculptures in different me- diums entitles Vo_eracity this November in Victoria, Gozo..

At the christening of Princess Aurora, Maleficent, the evil Fairy, casts a spell on the baby princess. Eighteen years pass and the spell puts Aurora to sleep. Prince Charming with the help of Dame Nanna Kola and Muddles fights Maleficent and her whole army to break the evil spell and rid the land of the evil Fairy once and for all. Sleeping Beauty is a rip-roaring tale that will take the audience, young and old, from one adventure to another, with side-splitting gags, laugh-out-loud slapstick, chases and good old "good versus evil". The panto will be held at the Manoel Theatre from 23 De- cember to 6 January. 23 DECEMBER – 5 JANUARY Jack and the Beanstalk – The Panto All his life young Jack has only ever had one dream - to become a famous knight. Unfortunately he comes from a dirt-poor fam- ily that can't even afford to keep up with the ever-increasing rent. One day, his village is attacked by giants who take away the girl he loves - presumably to eat her. Jack needs to pluck up the cour- age and climb that beanstalk to make the transition from zero to hero, from nobody to somebody, from loser to legend.
