26 August line-up announced
Teatru Malta in collaboration with Moveo Dance Company proudly presents ‘Etikett AI’ for Kampusajf  a tech-driven improvisational theatre experience.
Etikett is an improvisational dance-theatre project which premiered in 2022. This time, performers will transform AI-generated suggestions into an electrifying and unpredictable dance-theatre show. If you’re seeking conformity, look elsewhere. Remember, we don’t hold the reins, the machines do, and the show’s outcome is as unpredictable as it is unforgettable
Join us for a curious, possibly dystopian, experience where AI dictates the narrative.
