FI DO
Hold on to your leashes folks because Teatru Malta has something barking mad in store for you! It’s a show called “Fi Do” and get this… it’s for dogs! Yup, you read that right. It’s a concert specially commissioned for our furry friends.
The musical piece is composed by the talented Karl Fiorini who was asked to take inspiration from sounds that dogs love to hear, and dog sounds humans love to mimic. But don’t worry, it’s not just for our four-legged buddies, humans are welcome too! The show is directed by the world-renowned theatre company Manifesto Poetico, Carlos García Estévez and Paige Allerton, who are experts in the art of mime. Manifesto Poetico is known for their unique style of theatre that uses space, imagination, and collective storytelling to create an emotional experience.
And where will this canine concert be held, you ask? Only at the Malta National Park in Ta’ Qali! So bring your own chairs, cushions, and of course, your furry friend, and get ready to be entertained.
So are you still wondering who let the dogs out? It’s safe to say Teatru Malta did, and it’s going to be paw-some!
