February 28 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Żfindays 2025: Double Bill

28th February
Double Bill: Riccardi-Zani/Barros

 

ŻfinDays 2025 – IGNIS, Somiglianza, And the others, one day we played outside for the last time 

Double bill, 3 works over 6 nights 

Valletta Campus Theatre, 21/22/23/28 February & 1/2 March 2025, 19:30 

An annual programme that brings choreographers who are making their mark on the international dance scene to Malta. ŻfinDays 2025 features new works by Liliana Barros (Portugal/Germany), Simon Riccardi-Zani (France/Malta) and the re-creation of ‘Somiglianza’ by Kor’sia (Italy/Spain). 

And the others, one day we played outside for the last time 

Choreography: Simon Riccardi-Zani 

And the others, one day we played outside for the last time continues a series that began in 2022 with Ones, in the shade of sandcastles, a new choreography for ŻfinMalta, followed by Plus Ones, at the anchor of water lilies, commissioned for the Franco-German pavilion at the Malta Biennale 2024. 

 

This piece reflects on what’s left behind — people, dreams, and landscapes. After carving out spaces for new meanings in Ones and inventing new stories in Plus Ones, what remains when we finally step out of our personal sanctuaries? How does the real world appear, and is there still room for exploration, play, dialogue? 

 

Supported by the Embassy of France in Malta

IGNIS 

Concept & Choreography, Liliana Barros 

In IGNIS (Latin for fire), we plunge into a world of deep arousal.  

In this dance creation for ŻfinMalta, Portuguese choreographer Liliana Barros relies on the relationship of cause and response and sets out to ignite deep energies and channel profound emotions.  

We burn inside, we explode. 

Let us radiate in our exquisite physical condition in space. 

We do not want to hide; we want to amplify. Let it flare up, let it spark! 

Is it a poisonous inner impulse or the path to love and salvation? 

Let us be kind. 

In this shout out, IGNIS reveals itself as a transformative power. The focus is on the emergence of forces, on the flow of energies that cannot be directed, and on channelling them as if into a roadmap for the liberation of all the physicality they contain.
