Valletta is half a square kilometre of limestone built by a religious
military order that had just survived a siege. Everything in it was put
there on purpose, and most of it is still standing.
We don’t build sets. The Caravaggio Experience
is staged in the Oratory of St John’s Co-Cathedral, before the only
painting Caravaggio ever signed, in the room it was made for and the room
in which he was expelled from the Order of St John.
Sailors in the City Experience is staged
inside Sailors’ Paradise, a surviving Strait Street bar surrounded by
original artefacts from the street’s colourful past.
Both productions are performed in English by exceptional Maltese musicians,
singers and actors. The rooms are intimate, the audiences small, and the
surroundings are part of the story.
These are productions performed in the places their stories belong.
