ŻfinMalta proudly presents ‘ŻfinMade - Corporeality’, a biennial programme that invites six Maltese choreographers to create a series of solos and duets with the ŻfinMalta company dancers. For its third edition, under the title ‘Corporeality’, this year’s participating artists were invited to interrogate the theme of ‘our bodies in a digital world’.

ŻfinMade premieres in the Spazju Kreattiv Theatre, Valletta, from the 5th to the 8th of December 2024. The programme presents three works each night, performed over four nights. Experience these diverse new choreographic works by six Maltese choreographers: Florinda Camilleri, Valentina Cauchi, Tara Dalli, Pamela Kerr, Sandra Mifsud, and Sarah Vella.

WANDERMUST 2. - choreography by Florinda Camilleri

The wanderMust research series is Florinda’s ongoing attempt to discover new, more responsive and ‘response-able’ ways of engaging with environments based on solidarity, care, and compassion.

EXTENSION - choreography by Sarah Vella

In Extension, Sarah Vella delves into the nuances of emotion, allowing the dancers to inhabit a space where their true selves emerge. Extension strives to connect the essence of what it means to be human in today’s modern world.

AI I AM - choreography by Valentina Cauchi

Valentina explores the human condition in a rapidly changing, sometimes nonsensical world, through reflective expression. The work ultimately questions how technology reshapes our understanding of embodiment in a digital age.

ILLUSIO - choreography by Sandra Mifsud

From the moment of conception, humanity embarks on an endless quest for happiness and connection. As we grow, this journey unfolds as a bittersweet dance of fleeting satisfaction and persistent longing.

I AM LINKED, THEREFORE I AM choreography by Pamela Kerr

I am linked, therefore I am delves into the complexities of living in the duality created by social media. We seem to live in a constant state of tension between the digital persona and the authentic self. Can we ever truly escape the duality of our online and offline lives, or are we forever caught in a dance between the two?

FIAT FERRARI - choreography by Tara Dalli

Fight for the spotlight? Why so fast? Do I know you? Are we there yet? Will something happen? Is there a goal? If you say so. Have you been waiting? Where are we going? You could say so. Like ok? Did you find it? Are we happy? Does it ever end? What do you mean?

ŻfinMade has earned its reputation as a vital space for Malta’s choreographers and dance artists to develop their oeuvre and work with ZfinMalta’s professional dancers and staff. This year’s supporting artistic team includes lighting designer Dali Aguerbi, costume designer Holly Knowles and dramaturg Victor Jacono. For more information and bookings go to kreattivita.org.
