Il-Hajja Xejn Cool ta' Teenager Jismu Julian

Teatru tal-Opra Aurora is proud to present  Il-Hajja Xejn Cool ta' Teenager Jismu Julian (The Not-So-Cool Life of a Teenager Named Julian). A play in Maltese, written by Simone Spiteri, directed by Jean-Marc Cafá and produced by the Aurora Youth Movement.

Julian is an intelligent but highly mischievous 14-year old boy. His life is a total disaster and absolutely not cool at all. He is performing poorly at school and he is dying to form part of a cool clan at school but his efforts prove futile.

To make matters worse, his parents have recently separated. But Julian has a very big craze for a certain no-fear, courageous and intelligent fictional character - Justin Artio. In other words, he would like to be someone whom he actually is not. Matters get even more complicated when his mother starts seeing someone else, the cool clan at school starts noticing him and his O-Levels are round the corner. Julian has to take critical decisions.
But which decisions? How? And more importantly, what would Justin Artio would have done?

Written for and first-produced during the Żigużajg Children's Festival in 2013, Julian will be transported to Gozo's Aurora, under the artistic direction of Jean-Marc Cafá, as an Aurora Youth Movement co-production. It successfully ran in Malta at the St James' Cavalier to critical acclaim. At the Aurora, the audience will be hosted on stage where the whole plot will evolve, and an intimate ambience will be created.
