Il-Każin tal-Imqarbin
The phone rings. Hello? A voice gives clear directions. Directions to a secret club known as "Il-Każin tal-Imqarbin".
You must come alone. You must check that no one is following you. You must ring the bell. And once you're through the gate - you'll be hit by the scent of people just like you.
You're at the Każin. A place of irreverence. Where men come to be free.
At the Każin, the world outside does not exist. Men dance. Men kiss. Men tease. And men fall in love with men.
Until one day, the virus arrives. And the music stops.
Inspired by true Maltese queer stories, this show is a love letter to a queer generation that went uncelebrated. Their defiant joy, their deep connections and their resilience. With direction by Denise Mulholland and movement by Chakib Zidi, il-Każin tal-Imqarbin is ready to open its doors.
This publication is supported by the Maltese Book Fund 2025 from the National Book Council.

Biċċa xogħol importantissima, tmisslek qalbek u taqsamilek.
Mindu rajt is-show xahar ilu ma waqaftx naħseb fiha; u l-ktieb sabiħ daqsha. Filli tidħak u filli tibki mal-karattri. Nasal ngħid li waħda mill-iktar plays brillanti li qatt kelli l-privileġġ li nara - ċertament waħda mill-iktar li ssammrek - Maltija jew le.
