Justice and Culture Minister Owen Bonnici this morning launched Teatru Malta, an initiative by the Malta Arts Council that had been pledged in this year's budget.
Speaking at the Teatru Pandora in Zejtun, Dr Bonnici said that the project will foster greater professionalism in Maltese theatre. "This is one of a chain of projects aimed at increasing professionalism in the Maltese arts sector," he said. "It has a vision of creative innovation and artistic excellence which also includes the experimentation of styles, dramaturgy, technology and writing."
A call for the post of artistic director has been issued. The call can also be found online on http://ift.tt/1PJqKQ9
The first productions are expected to take place in 2018.
Dr Bonnici said this project would maximise the use of theatrical spaces around Malta and Gozo, with the aim of bringing the culture of the theatre closer to the communities. In fact, productions that fall under this initiative will be held in theatres across the island, away from Valletta.
