The artistic concept of the production will explore the topic of poverty in Malta and Udjenza has commissioned playwright Andre Mangion to create a new work in Maltese. Politicians and media sources can play around with statistics and definitions to give distorted views of what it may actually mean to be poor. In our collaboration with private and public support agencies the playwright has over the past months been listening to stories and exploring insights into what actually makes up the poverty trap locally.  The creative research is also shedding light on the perception and relation that other strata of society have towards poverty and the possible alienation and false comfort charity telethons might be giving. The creative work is an exploration of where Malta stands in the 21st century in relation to poverty. We will look for untold stories, unheard voices and create an artistic expression based upon such findings. Because at the end of the day we believe that away from statistics and progress, there are other stories worth hearing and a conversation that’s important to elevate through theatre. The project is currently in its research and development phase in collaboration with Spazju Kreattiv and is supported by Arts Council Malta through the programming support scheme.
