FEBRUARY 9-14 Carnival in Malta and Gozo The Maltese carnival is one of Malta's oldest festivities, harking back to the rule of the Knights of the Order of Saint John. Today, this colourful event is celebrated across the Maltese Islands, with the boldest and brightest activi- ties centred in the capital city of Valletta. For four days, the city's historic streets come to life with marching bands, fancy dress competitions and dancers in elaborate costume. But the highlight of this age-old celebra- tion is certainly the carnival f loat parade that features all manner of impressive handmade f loats – some allegorical, some sa- tirical and others just plain fun, fantastical and whacky.

L-Għarusa Karfusa is your classic tale of forbidden love between a fruit and a vegetable. In this absurd satirical universe where the villagers are named after vegetables, the inhabitants of 'Ħal-Insalata' are forbidden to talk to ones left in the forbidden quarantine; let alone fall in love! When Karfusa from the vegeta- ble hamlet lays her pretty eyes on Bajtru in the scheduled quar- antine, all hell breaks loose. The show will be staged at the follow- ing venues and times: Valletta: February 10 (17:00, 18:00, 19:00), Ħamrun: February 11 (09.30), Victoria: February 11 (15.30 and 18.00), Nadur: February 11 (20:30) and Għaxaq: February 12 (19.30). The show is directed by Jacob Piccinino and co-produced by Festivals Malta, Karnival ta' Malta, Gozo Carnival, and the Department of Maltese at the University of Malta.

The ex- hibition opens in Paris before travelling to London and Washington. Featuring interviews with curators and experts from the National Portrait Gallery London, MoMA New York, National Gallery of Art Washington, and Musée d'Orsay Paris, and correspondence from the artist himself, the film takes audiences beyond the exhibition to the places Cézanne lived and worked and sheds light on an artist who is perhaps the least-known of all the impressionists – until now.
