20 Years of Dù Theatre- words by Simone Spiteri

 
 

Written from the perspective of Dù Theatre’s founder, Simone Spiteri, this chronicle takes us on a journey through the company’s first two decades of creating performances and pushing boundaries.

With chapters that blend personal and artistic reflection with social commentary, this book offers a look into Dù Theatre’s origins, its artistic ethos, and the evolving cultural landscape that shaped its work. 

Also featuring ten essays from other artists, collaborators, and professors, this collection delves into the spirit of experimentation, resilience, and collective artistry that has defined the company’s path.

This book is a testament to the power of making theatre from the ground up, and a tribute to those who choose to do, rather than wait.

This project was financed by the National Book Council's Book Fund 2023.
