    Chris Gatt came into lighting design by way of his other career as a theatre director.

    Based in Malta he has directed both for the fringe and main stages working  both on classical and contemporary plays as well as devised and site-specific performances. 

    His lighting design is equally wide-ranging and has included pantomimes,  musicals, dance and opera.
