Tickets: Adults €10; Children (under 15 years of age) €5 Festival Pass €30; Family Ticket €20 Shakeshorts (for children) 30 July at 18:00 KSU Common Room, University of Malta Msida Campus Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears! I come to present Shakespeare like he hath never been seen before by thine eyes in Malta! Shakeshorts presenteth unto you, a rendition of Shakespeare that hath been condensed in length and acted out in brevity using wit, jest, silly hats, and a tad of naughtiness: perfect for young minds full of mischief. Written and performed in a humorous style that will allow Maltese children to enjoy the stories, particularly that of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and identify with themes and characters whilst gaining confidence with the language, Shakeshorts is most certainly an excellent introduction to Shakespeare (and medieval insults, but that's just a bonus…) Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears! I come to present Shakespeare like he hath never been seen before upon thine eyes in Malta! Price: €5; Festival Pass €30; Science of Conservation 30 July at 20:00 Atriju Vassalli (Main Quadrangle), University of Malta Msida Campus Conservator-restorers try to bring back the glory of various works of art significant to our history and culture. The science of conservation and restoration provides the chance for society to enjoy various works of art for centuries. In Science of Conservation, Prof. JoAnn Cassar, Dr Daniel Vella, Valentina Lupo and Roberta De Angelis will talk about their various expertise and the methods that are applied to bring different surfaces and works of art back to their former grandeur. The exchange between disciplines of art and science has facilitated the process and the use of new applications in the examination of art. Restoration science involves the integration of biological, physical and chemical processes to bring back what seems to have been lost. Entrance is by donation towards RIDT Tikka Alegria (U) 2 August at 21:00 Atriju Vassalli (Main Quadrangle), University of Malta Msida Campus Tikka Banda, founded by musician Justin Formosa and some friends in 2013 is, as its name implies, a band with a rather small formation. It is made up from traditional Maltese elements which are normally found in typical band marches. Alegria Dance Company is Malta's only professional dance company specialising in Flamenco dance. Established since 2009 under the direction of Ingrid Sciberras, Alegria has performed locally and overseas in Art Festivals, Theatre Productions, Charity Events and private functions. Blend the two together and the result is Tikka Alegria – an evening where traditional band marches meet the sophisticated moves of Flamenco dancers.
