SUMMARY:Labyrinth at Malta International Arts Festival

This collaboration between Spanish artist Oscar Rodríguez and ŻfinMalta Artistic Director Matthew William Robinson evokes a transitory landscape of myth and movement\, inspired by the mythical maze designed by Daedalus to imprison the Minotaur. The dancers of ŻfinMalta interact with the sand sculpture\, tracing patterns of curiosity and liberation\, altering the sculpture’s form in real time. This transformation becomes part of the choreography – a metaphor for impermanence and metamorphosis. At the intersection of myth and matter\, the Labyrinth invites both performers and spectators to reconsider space as a living organism. It is an artistic expression that erodes and reforms. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

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. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nA 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.\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nThrough 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.\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 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.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””]“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  [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

In this powerful new creation by Paloma Muñoz\, one of Spain’s most innovative choreographic voices\, suspended figures appear frozen\, breathing and decomposing under the gaze of others. As their flesh is exposed their bodies call out\, striking one another as a call to resist and remember. NÁCAR invites us to lend our bodies to the memory of others — to become vessels of presence\, beauty\, and shared echoes.  \n \n“Bodies as vessels of resonance. Offered\, overlapping and available\, allowing the dead to look\, speak\, and move through them\, so that what is no longer here may insist and take form again as gesture and presence. Invocation and luminous possession: a ritual where memory infiltrates with a crooked smile\, unfolding between the sacred\, the ornamental\, and what still breathes. A delight held like a spell.” – Paloma Muñoz \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Drawing from the Pavilion’s theme of In Between and the Biennale’s title: You Must Change Your Life\, the work explores identity\, womanhood\, contradiction and transformation.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””]Rooted in Tara’s experience as a Maltese woman\, dancer\, and former gymnast\, the research considers what it means to exist between states of being: femininity and masculinity\, strength and vulnerability\, discipline and freedom\, permanence and transformation. Maltese religious iconography\, particularly representations of the Virgin Mary and female saints\, sits alongside the physical disciplines of gymnastics and dance\, questioning how ideals of beauty\, purity\, devotion and achievement are carried within the body. Repetition becomes a key choreographic tool\, drawing connections between poetry\, prayer\, ritual and physical training. Movement accumulates\, shifts and breaks down over time\, becoming a mechanism for transformation.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””]Costume also plays a central role in the work. Created in collaboration with costume designer Zoe Camilleri\, traditional Maltese crocheted lace and doilies are reworked into a full-body garment\, evoking veiling\, religious imagery and domestic craft traditions. This is placed in tension with an oversized masculine suit\, allowing identities to shift through the acts of dressing\, undressing and transformation.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for an informal sharing of Tara’s research and creative process\, offering a glimpse into the work as it develops towards its presentation at the Gwangju Biennale 2026\, in South Korea. \n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””]Photograph by Ines Bahr[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
