ŻfinDays 2025: Riccardi-Zani/Barros Double Bill

March 1 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Żfindays 2025: Double Bill

1st March
Double Bill: Riccardi-Zani/Kor’sia

 

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?

Somiglianza (Prélude à l’Après-midi d’un faune) re-created and re-staged for ŻfinMalta Choreography, Kor’sia (Antonio de Rosa, Mattia Russo) 

Somiglianza (Prélude à l’Après-midi d’un faune) is an ironic and joyful homage to Nijinsky’s legendary creation and his renowned modern ballet, L’après-midi d’un faune. Combining fin de siècle imagery with exotic staging, Somiglianza questions symbolism in Western society. Nijinsky’s creation of Debussy’s L’après-midi d’un faune, one of the most famous modern ballets, serves as a starting point for Kor’sia to showcase their unique vision of dance iconography. Blending end-of-century imagery with contemporary entertainment, the work is a captivating journey through the history of dance, reinterpreted with a modern and innovative perspective.
