Ħbiberiji, uġigħ tal-qalb, imħabba, vjaġġar, avventura, karriera, familja… Dik hi l-ħajja hux? Sensiela ta’ mumenti u riti ta’ passaġġ seminali li jsawru l-identità tagħna hekk kif ninnavigaw il-ħajja. L-età hija aktar minn sempliċi numru, hija sensazzjoni li tħoss. Hekk kif jgħaddi ż-żmien, nagħmlu l-almu tagħna biex ingawdu l-ħajja, filwaqt li niġġieldu maċ-ċansijiet li ma jieqfu qatt biex intejbu t-triq li ninsabu fiha. Age is a Feeling ta' Haylee McGee kisbet reċenzjonijiet eċċezzjonali fl-Edinburgh Fringe Festival u t-Teatru Soho kif ukoll ġiet innominata għall-Olivier Award fl-2023. Id-dramm issa qed jiġi tradott għall-Malti minn Clare Azzopardi għall-premiere speċjali ġewwa Spazju Kreattiv. Is-Snin li Tħoss hija produzzjoni ta’ Udjenza taħt id-direzzjoni ta’ Toni Attard, spettaklu 'solo' bil-prestazzjoni ta' Clare Agius, dramm li jsegwi l-vjaġġ tal-ħajja ta’ persuna tul iż-żmien b’sens ta’ ħlewwa, intelliġenza, onestà u vulnerabbiltà.

Dan il-proġett huwa mgħejjun mill-Kunsill Malti għall-Arti, il-Ministeru Għal Għawdex u l-Ippjanar kif ukoll mid-Direttorat għall-Wirt Kulturali

Friendships, heartbreak, love, travel, adventure, career, family… That’s life isn’t it? A series of seminal moments and rites of passage that shape our identity as we navigate through life. Age is more than just a number, it’s a feeling. As time ticks away, we do our best to seize the day, all the while wrestling with our endless chances to better the path we are on, while we still can. Garnering rave-reviews from its run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Soho Theatre as well as nabbing a nomination in the 2023 Olivier Awards, Haylee McGee’s Age is a Feeling is now set to premiere in Malta with a Maltese translation of the script by Clare Azzopardi. Produced by Udjenza under the direction of Toni Attard, this never-the-same-twice solo show performed by Clare Agius, follows the ageing journey of one’s life with charm, wit, honesty & vulnerability.

This project is supported by Arts Council Malta, the Ministry for Gozo and Planning and the Cultural Heritage Directorate

NB The venue in Gozo is not wheelchair accessible.

Is-Snin Li Tħoss: I watched this performance yesterday. This is more than a mere theatre performance. It is a poetic experience. Clare Azzopardi’s translation plays with the Maltese language in such a way that it sounds equally contemporary and accessible, and yet so poetical. Toni Attard directs the play with great sensitivity, taking bold and significant directorial decisions, delving into a subject that strikes emotional, sometimes uncomfortable chords, with great bravery. But the real poet of the piece is Clare Agius. I use the word ‘poet’ because Clare transcends the performative in this work: her use of voice and her use of the physical is a poem in itself that cannot be explained unless experienced. She allows herself to be vulnerable so that the journey of the character (narrated extraordinarily in the second person) becomes our journey. Like in religious practice, she becomes us.

Tyrone Grima

That was amazing how emotional Brava 👏

Charles Van Maarschalkerweerd Borg

Raw and brilliant. Must watch

Dylan Said

An amazing play that explored the moving moments of growing older and the numerous ways in which we can change the direction of our lives. Clare Agius’ performance was outstanding.

Gegħlitni naħseb ħafna fuq ħajti.

Produzzjoni eċċellenti li tirrifletti r-realta tal-mara Clare Agius bravissima

Sharon Mifsud

Din hija produzzjoni li ħadd m’għandu jitlef; apparti t-teatralità intima hija produzzjoni li tenfasizza wkoll l-qofol tat-traduzzjoni; il-poter li l-kelma tradotta tqarreb nies minn kull tarf tad-dinja. Clare Agius irnexxielha tneżża’ l-proċess tax-“xjuħija” mis-suġġettività, u tat l-udjenza x’tifhem li dawn huma esperjenzi li ġarrabna oġġettiv, qed inġarrbu jew għad inġarrbu b’mod oġġettiv; huma qabelxejn esperjenzi li tħosshom f’ġismek; li jaħkmulek moħħok. Hija produzzjoni onesta, umli u sinċiera. Iġġiegħlek tgħarbel ir-riti tal-ħajja, dak li għadda, dak li għadu ġej, dak li jżommok għaddej u kull mument imprezzabbli li nġarrbu lkoll taħt sema wieħed. Din il-produzzjoni tħallik fuq ix-xwiek, timlik b’kurżità u tibqa’ tispera li l-intimità se tibqa’ tħaddnek tul is-serata sħiħa.

Emotional and real, very captivating

Very engaging performance. You could feel the passing of time through the symbolism used and the minimalistic set. Representation of age was spot on.

Excellent hafna prosit Claire u l producer u thanks ta Gail Baldacchino li qaltli biha

Monologu li jzommok mill bidu sa lahhar interpretat b mod eccelenti minn clare

Produzzjoni tajba hafna li ggaghlek tirrifletti u fl-istess hin tirrealizza kemm int normali minkejja li forsi xi drabi tahseb li l-feelings tieghek huma tieghek biss.

Elaine

Tirifletti l-verita kifra tal-hajja u hafna hsibijiet li ma naghtuhomx importanza matul hajjitna, hlief sfortunatament, fl-ahhar ftit… meta jkun tard wisq.

Claire kienet eccezzjonali kif stennejt w iktar….ir-rakkont ihallik issummat! Mhux ta’ min jitlifha

Josephine

Monologu eccelenti imma rari fit teatru malti izda li kapaci jadi messagg bsahtu.

Vjaġġi ! Lanqas hemm kliem biżżejjed biex tiddeskrivi, tal- ġenn ! Kemm emozjonijiet u ħsibijiet. Claire u Toni Bravisimi. Prosit tas- Set u tad- dawl wkoll. kkumplimentaw ħafna ma dak li intqal.

Produzzjoni impresionanti

Produzzjoni mimlija gherf tal-hajja. U li ma tiddejjaqx tikkonfronta l-iktar realta certa ghal kulhadd: il-mewt.

Monologu li jinvolvi mumenti diversi minn bniedma fittizja li f’ċertu ħinijiet taħseb li hija inti! B’vokabularju reqq u mqiegħed il-preżentazzjoni ġġiegħel l-involviment tal-udjenza bl-azzjoni kif wkoll bil-ħsieb dwar l-iskop wara t-traġitt tal-ħajja. Dramm li jħallik b’messaġġ b’saħħtu relevanti għal kull eta’.

Samuel Sciberras

Affaxxinanti. Clare irnexxielha tivverbalizza ħsibijiet/emozzjonijiet komuni u iktar profondi li wieħed jghaddi minnhom tul ħajtu. Brava Clare!

Monologue eċċezzjonali. Il-ħsibijiet interni tal-umanità ġew ivverbalizzati. Sibt lili nnifsi ngħid…ara mela mhux waħdi naħseb hekk. Monologu li jħallik tirrifletti ħafna…dhakt u bkejt fl istess ħin. Brava ħafna Clare!!

Excellent. Women can relate to various parts in their life and Claire Agius really nailed it.

like the fact that even though the play depicts stages of life that I have a few decades to reach, I could still relate to every stage in some way. This is because I am surrounded by loved ones from different stages of life, and I could immediately pinpoint certain parts within the play that were relatable. It also helped me reflect more on how short and fragile life is, even as a person in his mid 20s
