CULTURE THEATRE maltatoday | SUNDAY • 20 OCTOBER 2019 10 THIS Halloween, Teatru Malta will be presenting a performance unique to any other they've ever presented before. Min Hi? Is an hour long one-woman show star- ring the recently dubbed ''Doll-Basher of Zebbug'' Lee-N Abela under the di- rection of Ruben Zahra. The intriguing perfor- mance will be staged at the haunting Rialto Cinema in Bormla for four nights only between 31 October and 3 November; this will be the first time in several years that the art-deco cinema will be re-opening its doors to the general public for a pro- fessional theatre show. The show is written by house-hold name Trevor Zahra and composed by son Ruben; while talented sopra- no Nadia Vella will be sing- ing live. The Min Hi? Project; which began during late September with a series of controversial pop-up street shows in Zeb- bug, Marsaxlokk, Sliema, Gudja, Valletta and Birgu will reach its height during these four full blown performances. Audiences can expect to see a number of beguiling scenes unfold before their very eyes, featuring music boxes, pup- pets, chandeliers, snails, dolls and other curiosities. When asked what audiences can expect from the show the actress explained that:''The whole project was intended to provoke thought and engage audiences in a way that they aren't typically. We intend to make audiences laugh, smile and relate as I finally unveil who this masked woman re- ally is'' . Writer Trevor Zahra goes on to add that: ''Perhaps it would make more sense to ask what audiences shouldn't expect to see during Min Hi?. This is in no way your typical linear plot with a beginning and an end. On the contrary, this story is an exciting and fragmented one that will have audiences on the edge of their seat.'' This then coupled with Ru- ben Zahra's passion for visu- als will make for a very excit- ing night out: ''expect to see fetuses in glass jars, a pig's head, strands of long black hair, dripping wet chande- liers and a ceiling adorned with prosthetic arms and legs'', says Ruben. Seating is limited and the show will run for four chilling nights only. To book your Euro 15/12 tickets for Min Hi? visit kultura.mt or visit teatru- malta.org.mt for more infor- mation. Unique performance for Halloween
