Join us at ŻfinMalta studios for a behind-the-scenes rehearsal of Artistic Director Paolo Mangiola’s ‘Geographers of Solitude,’ featuring both the company dancers of ŻfinMalta National Dance Company and Ballet D’Jerri!
Twenty dancers come together to explore what unites the two islands through distinctive geographical and cultural landscapes. Taking inspiration from the Arctic Tern, a bird known for having the longest migratory patterns on the planet, ‘Geographers of Solitude’ is a conversation on diversity, the fragility of di”erent voices, and fostering collective harmony. Just as these birds take shelter on both islands during their long journey, the dancers on stage explore both itinerant and protracted island life and the dynamic interplay between solitude and communal, on our individual and collective narratives. It delves into the notion of islands as a microcosm of the world at large – a contained environment where its inhabitants develop unique cultures and ways of organising societies.
