The musical ‘Ghaliex Jien? Il-passjoni b’differenza’ will be staged once again, upon general request, at Teatru Astra on Palm Sunday, the17th of April, at 3.30pm.

The matinee performance will once again see the110-strong cast and dancers from the Centre Stage Dance Academy give life to the musical, penned by Joe Chircop with music by Mark Tonna, Andrew Zammit and Patrick Vella, that retells one of the most well-known stories of humankind, but that goes beyond the Crucifixion in an usual way.

The plot seeks to transport the essence of certain values into a contemporary context. It questions certain decisions taken then and now, as well as attacks attitudes such as hypocrisy and injustice that were present in Jesus’ times but also in today’s social context.

The story in itself also treats values such as love, loyalty, responsibility and the everlasting struggle between what’s good and what’s bad, as well as often ponders on the perennial question ‘Why Me?’ when things go really bad.

Booking for the additional performance has recently opened, with tickets available at €10 from the Teatru Astra Bar or by calling 21556256 or 7925 6897. More information on www.lastella.com.mt.
