The culinary and theatrical arts will become one in Teatru Malta’s latest production, a blend of a traditional dinner and contemporary performance at the Xwejni Salt Pans in Gozo.

L-Ikla t-Tajba is described by the producers as an interactive take on the ultimate Maltese meal, featuring ingredients from our past, delicacies from the present and an unusual yet wonderful food experience for all audiences to enjoy.

Under the direction of acclaimed Romanian director Nona Ciobanu, the show will be laced with Immanuel Mifsud’s poetry, with a cast featuring Theatre Anon’s Paul Portelli, Charlotte Grech, Liliana Portelli and Pierre Stafrace, with Rebecca Camilleri and Ira Melkonyan of The Rubberbodies Collective, Martina Georgina and Julia Camilleri from Teatru Santwarju, Ruth Borg and Lisa Farrugia.

As the multilayered show unfolds, food and drinks will be provided by Gozo’s own Ta’ Mena Estate.

The audience will not only watch the performance, but is also invited to join in a traditional majjalata afterwards and wash it down with a complimentary glass of Ta’ Mena wine.

L-Ikla t-Tajba, produced in collaboration with Valletta 2018, is performed every day between August 22 and 26 at 7.30pm at the Xwejni Salt Pans in Żebbug.
