The second DoSEL International Showcase will take place in Valletta, hosted by the National Agency for the Performing Arts Malta and Teatru Malta. The showcase emphasizes translation as a living artistic practice, fostering encounters between playwrights, translators, dramaturgs, performers, researchers, and audiences. The programme will host four performances from Malta, Slovenia, Croatia and Estonia, as well as discussions, exchange, workshops and a research presentation.
Drama of Smaller European Languages (DoSEL) is a cooperation project that contributes to safeguarding cultural and linguistic diversity in the European cultural space, specifically in the drama and theatre sector, by improving the conditions for transnational creation, translation, and performance of European drama written in smaller European languages.
The Maltese drama scene is energetic, diverse, and expanding. A youth finding his ground. It is anchored in local language and stories, enriched by international influences, and supported by a mix of professional institutions and grassroots creativity.
