About the Community Project - "What is Silence Nowadays":

Led by Spanish artist Sebastian Garcia Ferro, this community-based project explores the role and presence of silence in today’s world, set against the vibrant landscape of Malta. Inspired by the communal energy of the traditional Kolo dance, participants will gather in a circle formation, connecting through shared rhythm in hands and feet to embody presence, stillness, and reflection. Through this exploration, we aim to bridge the traditional and the contemporary, cultivating an experience of community, introspection, and connection with Malta’s natural and cultural rhythms.

About the Workshop:

Community Project participants will take part in a workshop about the exploration of the power of silence and movement in community, led by Spanish artist Sebastian Garcia Ferro. This workshop, will culminate in free outdoor performance at Upper Barrakka Gardens during Dance Festival Malta Day 4 (27th July).
