5 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 11 NOVEMBER 2018 THIS WEEK CULTURE pushes itself to create a something dif- ferent during the festival. I always look forward to the something 'extra' that the Festival creates, outside of performanc- es and exhibitions. This year, there's the interactive installation Ċaqlembut with Late Interactive at Pjazza San Ġorġ, and the amazing parade Barra bid-Daqq which will visit schools during the festi- val period, and will create a great festive parade on the final day of ŻiguŻajg! Ele- ments like these create the intense fes- tival atmosphere that lets people know there's a great festival going on! How do you hope that ZiguZajg will continue to evolve from here onwards? Now that the ŻiguŻajg brand is well established in Malta, we are looking at developing a programme in collabo- ration with Spazju Kreattiv and other partners that will give our audiences a year-long season of work for children and young people. We are also hoping to give more op- portunities to local creatives to devel- op their skills and pursue professional careers in the arts, so we plan to work with more Maltese companies to col- laborate on an international level. In terms of international recognition, we're also building on our international collaborations by organising delegate packages especially catered for the in- ternational professionals visiting the Festival; we'll continue to build on this in future editions. ŻiguŻajg's work with audiences is also an essential part of what it does and, I can't say too much at this stage, but we have plans in the pipeline to diversify our catchment and develop projects which have direct contact with communities. The eighth edition of ŻiguŻajg will be taking place across various venues in Valletta from November 16 to 25.
