Maltese fishermen (and firework-makers) have, in the past, fished unexploded bombs from the islet of Filfla, which was used as target practice for rockets, missiles and torpedoes during the British Rule (1800-1974) of Malta
“Kaxxa Infernali: Explosions” is a 50 minutes solo piece. It unfolds a ‘sound’ landscape made out of voices, sounds, noise and histories (personal and national) connected to different types of explosions – military, ritualistic, artistic, criminal – from fireworks to bombs, on the Island of Malta. Silence has come to play an important role in this creation.
