Two unique reflections on our world by two visionary choreographers of the moment. A bold, visually captivating evening of dance by Malta’s national dance company.

 

NATION is a groundbreaking artistic collaboration between ŻfinMalta Artistic Director Matthew William Robinson and Azzopardi Studio. In a stark landscape, lost souls ferociously search for what will come after the end. Haunting and razor-sharp, NATION swerves between the intimate and the vast, the delicate and the brutal.

 

SWAY, a new creation by Italian choreographer Diego Tortelli, explores our burning desire for deep connection. A journey of raw vulnerability, surrender and trust. SWAY is a rebellion of bodies where the energy of the dancers merges with the heartbeat of the audience.

ŻfinDays

Book Now
Over two weekends, experience the breadth of ŻfinMalta’s work, and the distinct visions of three European choreographers making their mark in the international dance scene.

 

Week One:  Experience the world premiere of NÁCAR by Paloma Muñoz, alongside BORDER by Matthew William Robinson.

 

Week Two: Audiences can get closer to Sita Ostheimer’s Mortal Heroes as ŻfinMalta presents this profound work in the intimate setting of Valletta Campus Theatre.

Choreography by Sita Ostheimer

In Mortal Heroes, Sita Ostheimer invites us into a visceral exploration of human potential—an odyssey through chaos and love, shadow and light, fragility and force. Her choreography becomes a poetic search for the ‘Other,’ a love letter to resilience, to the human capacity for survival, renewal, and transformation. Crafted with her signature language of movement, layered with evocative music by Adrien Casalis and immersive lighting by Barnaby Booth, Ostheimer’s work creates an atmosphere both intimate and vast.

A charged, pulsating space emerges—tense yet alive—suspending the audience in a state of continuous anticipation. It is here, in this emotionally electrified realm, that the body, mind, and spirit are pushed to their outer limits.
Through dynamic and deeply human encounters, Mortal Heroes unfolds as an emotional collision: delicate yet explosive, aggressive yet tender. Viewers are not passive observers—they are drawn into the work’s rhythm, evolving alongside the dancers, touching something raw and essential within themselves.
In Ostheimer’s process, transformation is perpetual. Beginnings and endings blur, giving way to a ceaseless cycle of becoming—an ever-renewing space where the heroic lies not in perfection, but in vulnerability, courage, and the will to continue.

“The visuals, dynamics, music, and qualities of moving bodies in my work allow dancers and viewers to discover a barely touched realm of their existence and experience the unseen motivation behind all moving forces. In Mortal Heroes, the aim is to create a pulsating and tense space that will put the audience in a high state of unceasing inner excitement and allow them to experience the power and ability of body, mind and movement.”  Sita Ostheimer

Of Curious Nature accompanies this guest performance with the choreography FULGENCE (“the radiant one”) by Samir Calixto. Calixto situates the act of rebellion as something deeply rooted in our being, as innate perseverance, tenacity, and strength in challenging moments. The choreography evolves from a stuck situation into an act of liberation. With euphoric outbursts of movement, the ensemble dispels inner darkness. As if in a fever, the bodies dance in an act of resistance, illuminating the shadows of our existence with their inner radiance.
