The countdown is on for the eighth edition of Trikki Trakki, Malta’s only youth theatre festival by young people for young people. After seven successful years, we’re always on the path to make every edition even better than ever before, and this one’s got a lineup that’s brimful of creativity and excitement.

For the first time ever, Trikki Trakki has a theme: Victorian Gothic Horror. Expect spine-tingling adaptations of classics such as Jekyll and Hyde, Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, The Goblin Market, The Tell-Tale Heart, and The Shadow Over Innsmouth. 

This exciting new layer of storytelling to the festival will feature everything from puppetry to fresh new music, underwater creatures, and creepy shenanigans that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.

A fantastic team of six directors will be heading this year’s festival, namely Miguel Formosa, Philip Leone-Ganado, Zoe Camilleri, Philippa Naudi, Joseph Zammit and Isabelle Gatt.
