So what is Apotheosis about?
It is about a fictional character, a female
Maltese prime minister and she speaks
about the struggles women go through
to achieve power. I do not think it is just
about the struggle in Malta only. Women
are still struggling to break that glass
ceiling. It is also a reflection on local
state of affairs as seen by the playwright
John Baraldi.
What advice would you give to anyone
interesting in acting in Malta?
Do it for the love and passion. It is
hard work, you do not do it just for the
applause. You do it to expand your
experience as an artist. So be aware of
the discipline it takes. With that frame
of mind, you would be ready to do all it
takes to make it happen. We have a lot of
opportunities in Malta. It is easier to act
in a national theatre here than anywhere
else, but always be humble to the craft.
There is always something new to learn.
