Voyager
In 1977, American astronomer and astrophysicist Carl Sagan was invited by NASA to curate a time capsule to be sent into outer space on the Voyager spacecraft. This time capsule, the famous Golden Record, would give intelligent life a snapshot of Earth’s diversity, sounds, feelings and thoughts through 116 images encoded in analog form.
Voyager is the result of ŻfinMalta Artistic Director and choreographer Paolo Mangiola’s fascination with this event. It is a collaboration with a team of local artists including set design by visual artist Austin Camilleri, costumes by Luke Azzopardi, and an original electro-acoustic score by Veronique Vella. Voyager propels its audience into a place of introspection and exploration of what it means to be human, reflecting on who we are as actors on a small stage in a vast cosmic arena; a fragile, pale blue dot in the enveloping darkness.
