On the 18th of April, Keira Farrugia claimed the prestigious title of Best Promising Performer on the series Brillanti, capping off a hard-fought competition.

In fact, judges Charles Brunton, Marina Maniglio and Marco Stabile highlighted how her elimination might have been their one wrong decision – and her performance sure proved why they thought so.

Her rendition of ‘I Just Wanna Be A Star’ from Nunsense during the auditions for Brillanti Musicals left everyone, from judges to host Joseph Chetcuti, utterly amazed.

While Kristen Abela rightfully claimed the season 3 Brillanti Musicals crown with her outstanding performances at the Manoel Theatre, Keira Farrugia’s win on the same night added another layer of excitement.

We’ll surely be seeing more of Keira in the future of performance – locally and abroad!

These findings underscore the need for further research into the psychological effects of binge-watching on mental health.
