Aphrodisiacs (Taste History & Etikett)

Celebrate the magic of love this Valentine’s Day in two unusual locations with an eclectic concoction of spells, delectable morsels from history’s kitchen and an improvised dance-theatre performance.

Heritage Malta’s ‘Taste History’ and Teatru Malta’s ‘Etikett’ combine their curatorial and creative talents to bring you an evening inspired by the aphrodisiacal efforts of eager partners, unrequited lovers, neglected spouses,  and unscrupulous charlatans wishing to incite or sell passion.

Present yourselves at the Inquisitor’s Palace in Birgu at 19:00hrs on the 14th of February, where various curators and food historians will be introducing you to people summoned for love magic from the archives of the Inquisition. Prepare to be amazed by the choice of food and other dubious ingredients used in love philtres and potions. Marvel at the lengths to which those seeking a ray of hope in their love lives would go to attract the object of their desire. 

Then make your way to the Malta Maritime Museum close by for an exclusive, historically researched dinner featuring the more palatable ingredients in these debatable potions. As you satiate your senses, Etikett will entertain you with a performance inspired by the love magic stories you have just listened to.

Book your place on https://heritagemalta.mt/store/e1147/ or at any Heritage Malta museum and site. Champagne and premium wines are included in the price.
