The interdiscipli- nary profile of this performance presents the narrative through a cycle of video-art scenes, accom- panied by a live piano score and modular analog synthesizers. In Kafka's Insect, the narrative is presented through the sections in the story that portray sound, such as the prodding of feet as the furniture in Gregor's room is moved around by his mother and sister, a medicinal glass vial shat- tering on the floor, rain pelting against the window panes … etc. The accessibility of the perfor- mance transcends the demand for the spoken word through the universal language of images, sound and music. Other UNTIL 4 MARCH BOV Retrospective Exhibition 2020 Bank of Valletta will be launch- ing the 27th edition of its Ret- rospective Art Exhibition cele- brating the works of Celia Borg Cardona and her bold, vigorous and expressive brushworks. The BOV Retrospective Art Exhibition will be hosted at the Gran Salon at the Auberge de Provence (National Museum of Archaeology) in Triq ir-Repub- blika, Valletta. This magnificent baroque hall, a work of art in itself, is currently being metic- ulously restored through the support of Bank of Valletta. It provides a wonderful backdrop for the works of Celia Borg Car- dona. The exhibition will be inaugu- rated by George Vella, President of Malta and will be open to the public as from 1 February till 4 March 2020 from 9am till 5pm every day with the last admis- sion at 4:30pm. UNTIL 28 FEBRUARY STILL STILLS - Exhibition by Anna Gale Art Galleries, Palazzo de La Salle, Valletta Following last year's solo exhibition in Malta, STILLS, Anna Galea is pushing boundaries in STILL STILLS - this time using her favourite me- dium, watercolour. Most of the works in this challenging and unforgiving medium are huge by watercolour standards – many well over a metre high or wide. Anna's watercolour work has been honored as masterful in places like the United States and Italy, and her dramatic use of watercolour in large-scale paint- ings does away with the per- ception that watercolour is for romantic landscapes.

Music 30 MARCH Piano Recital by Francis Camilleri On Monday 30th March, Fran- cis Camilleri will present a solo piano recital of works spanning Classical-era drama and intro- spective Romantic elegance. Schubert's lyrical Sonata in A major D. 664 opens this pro- gramme, followed by two dra- matic works in C minor: Mozart's Sonata in C minor and Beethov- en's Pathétique sonata. The event is held at Concert Hall, Palazzo de La Salle, Valletta Entrance will be free. www.artsmalta. org/events/francis-camilleri-pi- ano-recital. 5 - 25 MARCH The Romantics: 4 Hands 1 Piano Memories of Mars is an exhi- bition featuring a body of work comprising large abstract paint- ings by the Italian artist Lucio Dubini. The show presents lyri- cal and colourful expressions of the artist's personal narratives related to the concept of at- traction.

The heart of the action takes place in Valletta from 3pm though various towns and vil- lages across the Island have their own version of festivities. For a particular interpretation, vis- it Nadur, Gozo, where carnival takes on a more macabre and funny mood.
