A monologue written and performed by Pino Scicluna, Gwerra, Familti... u Ommi “is an anti-military scream”.

Having dedicated a theatrical event to his Maltese father last year, it’s time for his mother’s side of the family, and Italo-Maltese actor and writer Pino Scicluna now recounts anecdotes told by his mother’s brother, Capt. Aldo Zanini, who, for the duration of the war, was both family and foe.

Other micro- stories of destinies and parallel lives from Beppe Fenoglio, Paolo Murialdi and other Italians, which depict the real tragedy of a nation wrecked by war, are interwoven.

The production is being put up by NuoveCosmogonieTeatro, a natural development of an artistic collaboration between Italian actress Katia Capato and Maltese actor Pino Scicluna which started in 2006.

Gwerra, Familti... u Ommi forms part of the Malta Arts Festival, which is supported by the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts.

It will run between July 6-8 at Couvre Porte, Vittoriosa. Shows start at 9pm except on Sunday 7, when the show will start at 9.30pm.
