Hilarious one-man show at MAP

Aldo Brincat, theatre practitioner extraordinaire and head of the Maru-a-Pula School, held a one-man show at Maitisong on April 9.

The mid-afternoon affair, designed to raise funds for a core group of 24 of the school's students and six staff members to attend the upcoming National Arts Festival in Grahamstown, South Africa, attracted a crowd of youngsters, their parents and a few Maru-a-Pula students eager to see what Brincat had to offer. Ordinarily Brincat is tasked with teaching, scripting and directing plays for the Drama Department at Maru-a-Pula School therefore this was one of the rare opportunities that crowds had to witness Brincat in his performance element. 

Young children came pouring into Maitisong, many still clad in their school uniforms, ready for the show. After the doors opened, they sat buzzing in their seats, unsure of what was in store. Then, suddenly, Brincat could be heard mimicking the puttering sounds of a motorcycle as he emerged on the stage with a unicycle, a small leather bag filled with props and a pocket full of deflated balloons, which would all serve as key props on the otherwise empty stage. He immediately grabbed the attention of the audience and maintained it for the remainder of the hour-long performance.
