Il-Qarċilla 2025

Spazju Kreattiv Theatre St James Cavalier, Castille Place, Valletta

Il-Qarċilla is a "street theatre" performed during Carnival time. It is a play about a marriage contract in which everyone declares whatever comes to mind: what gifts the bride and groom will receive from their parents, witnesses, friends, and certain prominent persons and entities, all in the form of rhymed verses. The notary must document everything to make the piece legally binding. Of course, all this delivers a satire about the political and social situation of the country.
