The Positives

Project title

Il-Pozittivi

Description of initiative

The theatrical production Il-Pożittivi was made to put a focus on the stigma of people living with HIV in Malta. The pilot project Il-Pozittivi works with people living with HIV, participants were asked about their lives, prejudice they encountered, and their experiences of living with HIV in Malta.
People living with HIV still fear of discrimination, (self-)stigmatisation, alienation and loneliness. By disclosing their status they fear repercussions to their day-to-day life. The play (in Maltese) is a theatrical production that addresses the specific issues faced by people living with HIV and the day-to-day matters that impact their lives. The dramaturgy aspires to create characters that will provide new roles for Maltese speaking LGBTIQ actors.
