Equus By Unifaun Theatre- Dare you defy your own gods?

Image
Lately I had the opportunity to go and see the representations of Equus at St. James Cavalier, by a theatre company I have never heard before called Unifaun Theater. It was fantastic for several reasons! I had to "strongly encourage" my date to come along, she is young and not much into these sort of shows but even thou it is not her usual cup of tea (excuse my pun) I could see in her eyes that she has enjoyed every minute of it. Equus is not easy (I don’t even know how to pronounce it right:)). It is a kind of psychological detective story, a play which does an unusual thing. It asks why? Most plays tell us how. Equus is a psychological inquiry into a crime, a journey into someone's mind. It is a kind of highbrow suspense story, a psychic and mythic thriller, but also an essay in character and motive. It is the documentation of a crime. The story has been based on a flimsily documented but apparently true incident of a young stable hand has attacked six horses in their s

Marketing Strategies

"No Reservations"- It is as precious as a truffle

Image
Well I’m back to my lovely country Malta after a much considered necessary, holiday and given that I don’t have a tendency to go to cinemas when I’m abroad and I was looking for a relaxing friday evening, my choice fell on what I thought at first an easy romantic comedy by the name of No Reservations at my favorite movie complex in Valetta. In a couple of words the reason why I really loved this movie is because it made me feel sorry for not persisting my career as a chef and then again the reason why thank God I quit doing it. The reason being that some people think that they can instruct someone so passionate about his job the way he or she should do their dishes. Mind you it did at sometimes made me remember how good it feels during the service hours when one is just pushed to the limit to get the dishes to the customers fast. Another reason why I enjoyed watching it is that it is sumptuous celebration of the most important things in life, succulent food, fine wine, fantastic music

The Missing Link

A new day comes, it doesn’t ask. It just walks in, where it left you last. And you never know, when it starts until there's fog inside your heart I'm not alone, Cause then I'd know, I was down because I couldn't find, a friend around To love me like, they used to do used to do Something's missing And I don't know how to fix it Something's missing And I don't know what it is No I don't know what it is Something's different And I don't know what it is No I don't know what it is I'm sick of the shopping malls I searched for joy, but I bought it all It doesn't help the pains and a thirst I'd have to drown first to ever satiate I can't be sure that this state of mind, is it one of my own design I wish there was an over the counter test, for loneliness.

Brian Adams Live in Malta with a pre show from Winter Moods

Image
For one night only, the 29th of June 2007, the fans of good old rock music were treated to an evening like no other, an evening that sent shock waves throughout the crowded streets as Brian Adams well and truly rocked our little island.This was the first and hope, not the only Maltese date for Brian, whom at the end of the concert he also confirmed that the rumours that he has some Maltese blood rushing thru his veins, were for real. He certainly didn’t disappoint his fans in his more then two hour long set at Luxol’s Football ground in St. Andrews. The concert, in aid of the ‘Find Madeleine’ campaign was a cavalcade of rock. Opening for Brian was the veteran Maltes band Winter Moods, a band with some varied and interesting tunes, which were toe-tapping pieces of music brilliance. This little known abroad band, who have four fantastic albums and two EPs under their belt (my favourite being Morning Ale) and have a great follow up in Malta, have a special way to lift the crowds spirit a

Waves of freedom...

Don't know why I'm still afraid If you weren't real I would make you up now I wish that I could follow through Could this be true And deep As the sea On Waves of freedom But right now Everything I want is wrong, And right now All my dreams are waking up, And right now I wish I could follow you On the waves Of freedom, Where no one lives. Remember when we first met And everything is a bet a game You would call; I'd call you back And then I'd leave A text But right now Everything is turning blue, And right now The sun is trying to kill the moon, And right now I wish I could follow you To the shores Of freedom, Where no one lives We're made out of blood and rust Looking for someone to trust Without A fight Could it be that is too soon You're the diamonds and the moon That lights Up my night Eaglet Run away tonight Eaglet, Eaglet, Run away Run away tonight Got no much time to kill Like the pigeons on my window sill We hardly hang around Ever since I've bee

Malta and the Maltese Islands (Spirit of Malta)

If you write malta or the maltese islands in google or other search engine, you get 143,000 results of home pages which are related but most of them especially the official Tourism Site visitmalta is just boring. I came across a very well made site about my country and if you want to see what a jewel of a place we live in I recomend you check it out, especially the virtual tours. the site is www.maltavoyager.com if you don't have time for that or like what happened in my case I got spellbound (no not an eurovision song) and spent most of the afternoon checking out this particular site and have other things to do check out this video. Filmed and edited by Alexander Chorny (yes foriegners tend to appreciate more)between 02.05 to 08.05 and edited in just 2 hours (the night before he had to get his plane back home for vacation, and made especially to show Malta to his friends and parents back in Ukraine). It's called Spirit of Malta and it is just amazing both visually and even th

Sometimes one goes thru an uneasy phase and feels like the whole world is against him. Days roll like numbers and to be sincere sometimes I feel like it would be enough that today’s calendars have just months because you wake up in the morning and it's the first and the next morning is the last day, sometimes it feels like we have just a week in a month. Well at the moment I ‘m going thru one of this uneasy phase and it is not a nice situation to feel this way. I don’t like to be much the centre of attention but lately I feel kinda put aside, being it work and even in personal relationships, so in days like these I try to get refuge from the harsh days in our sister island gozo. Funnily enough early evening I received a text message from my friends that they are going to do dinner in gozo so I didn’t even let the mobile’s chime twice and I accepted straight away. I don’t know you but I love to journey between the two islands when it’s dark, the soft breeze on your face, the smell

quale persona e la piu pericolosa?

secondo me l unica canzone che faceva un po di senso durante il piu banale festival di sanremo da un po, un festival che sapeva solamente di litigie e politica e niente di creativo o culturale o che emoziona tranne lunico scopo che era quello di fare audience, ma canale 5 ha fatto piu audience... secondo me anche la Hunziger sembrava falsa anche se secondo me e una professionista dell piccolo schermo... Ti Regalerò Una Rosa Ti regalerò una rosa Una rosa rossa per dipingere ogni cosa Una rosa per ogni tua lacrima da consolare E una rosa per poterti amare Ti regalerò una rosa Una rosa bianca come fossi la mia sposa Una rosa bianca che ti serva per dimenticare Ogni piccolo dolore Mi chiamo Antonio e sono matto, Sono nato nel ’54 e vivo qui da quando ero bambino Credevo di parlare col demonio Così mi hanno chiuso quarant’anni dentro a un manicomio Ti scrivo questa lettera perché non so parlare Perdona la calligrafia da prima elementare E mi stupisco se provo ancora un’emozione Ma la colpa
