ALARME RE-ENACTMENTS
ALARME is a 50 minute re-enactment that portrays a series of military skirmishes set against the historic and turbulent tenure of Malta by the French troops, following Napoleon’s landing and conquest of Malta (1798 – 1800).
The story recounts the landing of the French troops and the subsequent administration of the Maltese Islands by the new Republican government. There follows the rebellion of the Maltese that led to the blockade of the French troops inside the harbour towns. The story unfolds in a dramatized live re-enactment and ends with the surrender of the French troops at the hands of the British. The re-enactment is staged by the Historical Re-enactment Group of Malta (H.R.G.M.) on behalf of the Malta Tourism Authority.
