Ljieli Teatrali - Daqsxejn Ta’ Requiem Lil Leli

Daqsxejn Ta’ Requiem lil Leli is presented as part of Ljieli Teatrali, a festival celebrating

contemporary Maltese theatre through a curated programme of acclaimed stage productions

experienced in a cinematic setting.

By bringing these productions back to audiences in a shared theatrical environment, Ljieli

Teatrali offers the opportunity to discover important Maltese works for the first time or

experience them anew. The festival celebrates Maltese theatre as an art form that continues

to resonate long after the curtain falls.

Synopsis:

Theatre Anon brings Immanuel Mifsud’s poignant meditation on the life of an ordinary man to

the stage in a visually striking and deeply moving theatrical experience. At the centre of the

story is Leli, a life-size puppet who revisits the defining moments of his life as it nears its

end, inviting audiences to reflect on the beauty hidden within everyday existence.

Accompanied by Kris Spiteri’s original orchestration and Vince Briffa’s visuals, this

production transforms a simple life into a vibrant celebration of the human experience. Both

touching and playful, Daqsxejn Ta’ Requiem lil Leli delivers a performance that mesmerises

and delights in equal measure.

Originally premiered at the Malta International Arts Festival in July 2018, the production

returned to the Manoel Theatre as part of Theatre Anon’s 30th anniversary celebrations.

Sinopsi:

Theatre Anon jadattaw il-meditazzjoni emozzjonali ta’ Immanuel Mifsud dwar il-ħajja ta’ raġel

ordinarju. Fil-qalba tal-istorja hemm Leli, pupazz li jerġa’ jgħix il-mumenti li ddefinixxew ħajtu

hekk kif qed tersaq lejn tmiemha, u jistieden lill-udjenzi jirriflettu fuq is-sbuħija li tinsab

moħbija fil-ħajja ta’ kuljum.

Akkumpanjata mill-orkestrazzjoni oriġinali ta’ Kris Spiteri u l-viżwali ta’ Vince Briffa, din il-

produzzjoni tittrasforma ħajja sempliċi f’ċelebrazzjoni vibranti tal-esperjenza umana. Fl-istess

ħin evokattiva u umoristika, Daqsxejn Ta’ Requiem lil Leli toffri spettaklu li jaffaxxinak u

jferraħ.

Il-produzzjoni ġiet ippreżentata għall-ewwel darba fil-Malta International Arts Festival f’2018,

u aktar tard reġgħet ittellgħet fit-Teatru Manoel bħala parti miċ-ċelebrazzjonijiet tat-30

anniversarju ta’ Theatre Anon.
