Belinda and the Blue Bigilla follows Belinda, a hungry three-year-old but nothing can sate her. She is presented with various traditional Maltese treats – from green galletti, to purple pastizzi, pink prinjolata, and, of course, blue bigilla. Still hungry and pretty annoyed, she is finally consoled by a big hug from her mum.
A cosy and comical theatre show where actress, Michela Deguara, plays a bold Belinda who just wants more. Her movements, mishaps and emotions are coloured in with incidental music and accompanied by giant props.
The show introduces children to colours, local Maltese food and also the subtle message that while we may think material goods will make us happy, true happiness lies in the people who love us the most.
Belinda and the Blue Bigilla ssegwi lil Belinda, tifla ta’ tliet snin dejjem bil-ġuħ u li ma tixba’ b’xejn. Hija tingħata ikel tradizzjonali Malti – minn galletti ħodor, sa pastizzi vjola, ħobż biż-żejt highlighter, u ovvjament, bigilla blu. Hija tibqa’ bil-ġuħ u tagħmel in-nervi, iżda ommha tikkunslaha b’tgħanniqa kbira.
Spettaklu teatrali komdu u komiku fejn l-attriċi, Michela Deguara, taħdem il-parti ta’ Belinda li dejjem trid aktar. Il-movimenti, il-bawxati u l-emozzjonijiet tagħha huma kkuluriti b’mużika inċidentali u huma akkumpanjati minn props ġganteski.
L-ispettakli jintroduċi lit-tfal għall-kulur, l-ikel tradizzjonali Malti u anke l-messaġġ sottili li filwaqt li aħna naħsbu li l-affarijiet materjali jagħmluna kuntenti, il-kuntentizza vera tinsab fil-persuni li l-aktar li jħobbuna
