Intimate Żfin

Intimate Żfin

Intimate Żfin is where music meets dance in unexpected spaces. It is an opportunity to see the company’s extraordinary dancers up close in a series of choreographic miniatures created by ŻfinMalta’s Artistic Director Paolo Mangiola. Intimate Żfin unfolds through a series of dance sketches, creating a dialogue between the choreography, music, and architecture. Performing live in the space, Alexandra Alden and her band focus on the themes of belonging and home. Songs are from the album ‘Leads to Love’ which was released in autumn 2021. The band is made up of both Maltese and Dutch members, with whom Alden has collaborated closely on the album. True to its title, Intimate Żfin is an experience to be performed in unconventional spaces to small audiences of 100-120 people per night. Such spaces can include palazzos, libraries, and museums.
