Theatre is a feast within a community, the actors and the audience.  Together, people from various backgrounds come together to delve into various dilemma to extract meaning leading to discovery of the joy of living. This year's Dwal Ġodda theatrical group's production Baħħ  (void)  tackles those pockets of time which each and every one experiences, faced with the unexpected. Sometimes even unexpected joy cannot be grappled with.  A sense of void and emptiness engulfs us during and after. 

Unique 'epic' characters (Abraham and Mary Magdalene, Peter and Judas, Veronica and Simon of Cyrene) are like beams that can enlighted how to tackle the void we all feel encompassed in when uncertainty predominated.

The Nazzarene's words and deeds continue to cast a unique light on life's trajectory.  But can the simple words 'not my will will be done but yours' still be a suitable practicle answer?  Are we destined to just bow our heads to an almighty power to fill the unevitable void?  Do we have to be superheroes to take our destiny in our hands?  Is rebellion towards the Almighty (Non Serviam) a sure way to despair?

'Void' (Baħħ , or vojt)  is bi-lingual theatre production for the Holy Week period which contrast life's joy and despair, questioning and accepting, stagnation and innovation - not to provide answers but to lauch a personal and communal quest for possible answers.

Dwal Ġodda have devised this theatrical "feast" in such a way so as to enkindle a family/community spirit, within small audience during 5 different performance, because it is only in the intimacy of community that joy can be discoved and shared, even during uncertainty. 

Performance dates at the Gharghur Theatrical Space are on 20-23 ^th March at 7.30pm and Sunday 24 March at 3pm so that the audience can experience also the traditional Gharghur Good Friday procession which is held on Palm Sunday.
