ŻfinMalta launches its 2022/23 season
Malta’s national dance company, ŻfinMalta, has unveiled its 2022/23 programme of productions.
The season begins in October with ‘On Reefs And Eroded Lands We Danced’, premiering in October at Valletta Campus Theatre. Taking inspiration from the Svalbard Seed Bank – a vault built to contain the world’s most prized crops in case of an apocalyptic event – the work by ŻfinMalta artistic director Paolo Mangiola explores what we see as essential elements to protect and preserve life on earth.
In December, six emerging choreographers close the year at Spazju Kreattiv with a series of solos and duets with the ŻfinMalta company dancers, based on the question ‘what will the future look like in 100 years?’
Two works performed in 2020 and 2021 to critical acclaim - ‘Girls & Boys’ by choreographer Roy Assaf, and ‘Weaving Chaos’ by Tania Carvalho – will be making a return to Malta, with both featuring in the annual ‘ŻfinDays’, which runs over two weekends in February at Valletta Campus Theatre and also boasts a double bill featuring a new work ‘OKOKOK’ by Marco D’Agostin and Paolo Mangiola’s ‘Nuova Figura’, which premiered in Gozo in 2021.
