A play, ‘Il-Hajja xejn cool ta’ teenager jismu Julian’, will be back on stage at St James Cavalier, between 26 and 28 April at 7.30pm.

Following its success last November, Dù Theatre Group and ZiguZajg Festival, are once again staging the production which portrays the life of Julian, an intelligent but naughty 14-year-old whose life is a disaster and not at all cool.

Theatre critics praised this innovative performance while a string of newspapers ran headlines such as ‘A big bravo to all the cast for introducing many schoolchildren to theatre that is relevant, enjoyable and empowering’, and ‘It is a breath of fresh air’.

Julian’s life is full of struggles - bad news from school, no luck in joining the Form’s most popular gang, and to top it all, his mum and dad separated recently. However, Julian is also obsessed by Justin Artio, a character he created on RPG - fearless, brave and smart - basically he’s all Julian wishes he was, but isn’t. Things get complicated when it his mother meets a stranger... Julian needs to take decisions. But what decisions and how? More importantly, what would Justin Artio do in his place?

The cast comprises Kurt Castillo, Elaine Saliba, Mark Mifsud, Stephanie Bugeja and Claudio Carta. The play is directed by Jean-Marc Cafà and written by Simone Spiteri.

The play presents the audience with the difficulties encountered by teenagers during their daily life and is aimed at a 12+ audience.
