Artistic Director: Paolo MANGIOLA
Since 2014, the ŻfinMalta National Dance Company (ŻFIN MALTA) has pioneered fresh thinking about contemporary dance in the Maltese islands and raised the profile of dance exponentially. We work with the best dancers and choreographers from Malta and around the globe to create productions that are bold and current and of a world-class standard.
ŻFINMALTA productions are always collaborative, engaging choreographers, set and costume designers, composers and visual artists from Malta and internationally, and partnering with other organisations in theatre, opera,
music and the visual arts.
Artistic Director Paolo Mangiola joined the company in its third season, and has been instrumental in establishing its place in the region and further afield in the international dance community. Mangiola’s vision for the company is supported by his own credentials and profile as a choreographer, dance educator and performer.

"Everything combines into a creation of triumphant beauty, thrilling and visceral and devastating. We tend to emerge from ŻfinMalta productions deeply connected with the unspoken parts of ourselves."
Times of Malta, Lara Zammit, 06.2022
"The nine bravi interpreters, maltese and not, immerse themselves in a very refined habitat ... so beautiful is the idea of this 'Voyager', and it's elegant design."
Wall Street International, Marinella Guatterni, 08.2019
