The second edition of Xaghra Tale, presented by the Xaghra Historical Reenactment Organisation (XHRO) has been entertaining weekly audiences in the village of Xaghra, Gozo.

This show is a 20-minute spectacle of acting, dance, light effects and music giving glimpses of historical events related to the history of the village.

The open-air performances take place in Pjazza l-Vitorja, the village’s main square, on Wednesday evenings at 9:00pm. There are two shows left for this this year’s edition, this week on the 19th of August and then again on Wednesday the 26th. Entrance is free of charge.

This year’s edition sees Calypso taking Ulysses, as well as the audience in a millennial journey through some of the events which have left a mark on the village and the Maltese islands.

The show involves around 40 actors and dancers wearing period costumes, ranging from classical times to the 19th century.

The performance is aimed to give tourists and local visitors an interesting insight both into famous as well as less-known events in which the village and its people played a role, thereby enriching the visitor’s stay on Calypso’s isle.

All this can be enjoyed while having a delicious meal or sipping a glass of good wine in one of the restaurants surrounding the square.
