Stranger than Fiction — St Dominic’s Theatre, Valletta—Science in the City

At St Dominic’s theatre, we have a fun-packed two-day program, carefully chosen to indulge your imagination. This year, to meet COVID-19 guidelines, our program has been divided into two hour slots which can be booked individually. Grab your seats now and strap in for the ride!

Award-winning science communicator Dr Anthony Galea and S-cubed will each be performing larger-than-life science shows. Student organisation MBSA will be here with a brand new event all about the science behind your favourite Marvel superheroes. How many protein shakes did The Hulk drink to achieve that vibrant green muscle mass? Find out from the experts!

If you’re fascinated by the natural world, you’re in for a treat! In Meet the Aliens, we’ll be introduced to some live invasive species and taught how to spot them in the Maltese islands. One of our most popular acts, The Shark Detectives, will be here to share the secrets of the mysterious fish that circle our islands. Next, we’ll get down to the nitty-gritty with The Genome Wheel, where we’ll see how DNA encodes the life on our planet and forms the basis of evolution.

Another highlight is the “Game of Talents”, a brand-new feature for Science in the CIty 2021. If you like a challenge, you’ll love this chance to get chatting to researchers and see if you can guess their field of study.

For all of this and much, much more, book your place at Stranger Than Fiction: St Dominic’s theatre
