Synopsis

The public is invited to join the actors for a theatrical production (in Maltese) inspired by Maltese fantasy characters that will take place inside the halls of the Inquisitor's Palace in Birgu. The public is welcomed by 'It-Tork tat-Taraġ" who will take us around the palace to tell us a terrifying story. 'Il-Belliegħa' that lives in the well is  found in one of the courtyards. Inside the cells of the palace we find the Witch, condemned to death by the inquisitor. We hear the bellowing of 'Il-Waħx il-Baqar' and the 'Gawgaw' dragging behind him a gate with nails. This theatre production presents the ghosts and ghouls of Maltese folklore within an informative and entertaining narrative.

This performance will be in Maltese.
