- **Event Description**: Fun, Frenzy and Fracture:
Maltese Carnival during British Rule

Carnival, a moment of fun and revelry, can also be exploited as a moment of criticism and confrontation. In particular instances, the British used Carnival to impose their will, the Maltese used Carnival to manifest their opposition. Following the founding of political parties, Carnival was also used to criticise opposing political factions. The talk traces Carnival fun and satire during the 19th and early 20th centuries, highlighting the type of street celebrations, and the manipulation of fun to deliver social and political messages. It will discuss satires concerning both foreign and domestic policy, as well as those constituting political attacks against the Government, political parties and personalities, which underscored political fracture in Maltese society.

Prof. Cremona is an eminent theatre historian with a particular interest in Carnival rituals. Cremona has published internationally, mainly about theatrical events and public celebration, notably Carnival, Commedia dell’Arte, theatre anthropology, Maltese Theatre and costume. She is particularly interested in the relations between power and society as expressed through theatre and theatrical events.She is a Professor in Theatre Studies at the University of Malta.
