maltatoday | SUNDAY • 26 JANUARY 2020 10 LISTINGS WHAT'S ON Theatre UNTIL 14 FEBRUARY Scheherazade Scheherazade, a solo show by well-known local artist Charlie Cauchi, will take over and trans- form Valletta Contemporary into a space where coercion and cruelty, love and violence, sex and entertainment are made pal- pable. Cauchi's work consists of a multi-disciplinary and immer- sive installation built around the concept of a London Soho night- club. The exhibition will act as a pinpoint of light into the history of this dark underbelly, a place once renowned as the scandal- ous city of vice. Scheherazade is also a major fe- male character in middle eastern literature and the narrator of the tales in 'A Thousand and One Arabian Nights', keeping the sultan alive as an act of self-pres- ervation. The shows starts at 7.30pm at Valletta Contem- porary.
