Group Statement

Du` Theatre Group (Malta) was founded by Simone Spiteri in 2004.

Du`s strong point is in the diversity of its members. Each member has a different theatrical baggage which results in a harmonious complementation of the other members' different experiences and which is ultimately a key to an enhanced theatrical process. The latter, in fact, is Du`s chief aim, which seeks to highlight the performer’s own process and considers it as the fulcrum of any performative act.

The word “do” in English literally means: “to perform, effect, transact, bring about, work at, work out, provide and prepare”, which is exactly what a Du` performer strives to achieve: a performative act as a result of meticulous and disciplined preparation. Du` is literally a Maltese phonetic version of its English counterpart “do”. This is because although Du` always tries to keep an open eye for global artistic and cultural approaches it never wants to move away from its own cultural roots.
