The 1970s were a decade like no other in the history of mankind, a transformative period marked by significant political, cultural and technological changes. From wars and political unrest to technological advances and the rise of feminism, the events that shaped the 70s serve as the premise for Teatru Rock - Journeying through the 70s, the latest production by Revamp MT.
Teatru Rock is a concert that celebrates the profound societal shifts of the 1970s, consequently affecting the music of the decade, and, subsequently, echoed in the music of decades to come. Featuring a line-up of some of the finest talent from Malta and Gozo, including Chris Grech, Lisa Gauci, Petra, Keith Zammit Mintoff, Jolene Samhan and Paul Bezzina, these artists will bring the timeless hits of the decade to life, accompanied by a live band led by musical director Edward Mifsud. The songs planned for the concert, inspired by or reflective of the era, will include iconic tracks from Pink Floyd, Metallica, Queen, The Beatles, Aretha Franklin, David Bowie and more.
The narrative of the concert will be further enhanced through projections that will visually weave in themes of the decade, throughout the concert, while songs are being performed as well as in the moments between. Some of the themes explored include religion, the evolution of music, lunar landings, the decade's aspiration for a better future and the evolution of rock.
Teatru Rock will be performed at the newly-restored Teatru Salesjan on 2 November at 8pm with doors opening at 7.30.
Teatru Rock is a Revamp MT production and is supported by Festivals Malta, Rock 'N Malta, Visit Malta and Teatru Salesjan.
