Unveiling the Marvels of Cirque Bizarre

Prepare yourselves to be transported to a realm where science meets the bizarre, and where the unexpected becomes the extraordinary. Here’s a sneak peak of the marvels that will await you during this enchanting evening.

Two very amazing workshops are Spelltacular and Gross Dissections.

One of the highlights of this event will be The Reptile Dungeon, a realm where serpents, bearded dragons and intriguing insects will reign supreme.

Pro-Palestine Protest Takes To Valletta’s Streets

Pro-Palestine Protest Takes To Valletta's Streets

A demonstration in support of Palestine, led by Moviment Graffitti and several other local activists, took to Valletta’s streets, calling for an end to the bombardment currently taking place in Gaza. 

Along with the Embassy for Palestine, activists called on Western countries, including European institutions and figures, to ‘stop taking the side of the oppressor and condemn unequivocally the genocide in Gaza’ and to ‘sanction Israel for its war crimes and colonialism.’ 

With Palestinian flags and placards reading ‘Free Palestine’ and ‘Stop Bombing Gaza’, the crowd was addressed by Palestinian locals who shared how their families back home were being massacred. 

This comes after European Parliament President Roberta Metsola’s visit to Israel along with European Commission President Ursula von Der Leyen. 

The response by the world leaders was met with mixed feelings, with many urging them to work harder to stop the genocide in Gaza and to condemn Israel’s actions. 

Metsola and other EU leaders and institutions condemned the terrorist attacks by Hamas and, expressing solidarity with Israel, said that they will be working towards a ‘fair two-state solution’ and that ‘humanitarian aid reaches those in need, that civilians are not targeted and that safe corridors are maintained.’
