DANCE
ŻFINDAYS, the national dance company's first
event for 2021, presents two breath-taking per-
formances, which, while stunning as standalone
pieces, come together to offer a truly unmissable
event.
Now in its second year, ŻfinDays showcas-
es ŻfinMalta's growing repertoire, through
new, exciting creative collaborations between
ground-breaking artists in Malta. The double
bill also displays the national dance company's
dancers' raw talent and versatility.
Kalypso, created by local choreographer Jacob
Piccinino, opens the evening with a call back to
mythology and ancient theatre, inviting the au-
dience to dwell on guilt, compassion, and social
power struggles.
Núria Guiu's Superlikes immediately grounds
the audience back into the present, as she analy-
ses the value we attribute to a 'like' in our digital
culture and society. Superlikes is an exclusive
reinterpretation of Likes, the artist's renowned
solo work, which was selected by the European
platform Aerowaves 2018.
"ŻfinDays reflects our constant efforts to cre-
ate a thriving and attractive contemporary dance
scene in Malta," said Paolo Mangiola, ŻfinMal-
ta's artistic director. "The diversity of this event
clearly shows why ŻfinDays has become one of
our annual, signature programmes."
ŻfinDays will be held on 12 and 13 of February
at 8pm, and on 14 February at 2pm and 8pm,
at the Valletta Campus Theatre. Tickets may be
purchased on kultura.mt.
