If you venture into the desert of Wackelkontakt, you’ll find yourself in an endless loop of improvement and deterioration. The multi-faceted workshop-experiment-performance presented by Wackelkontakt at Autumn Cult 2021 returns to the space where it was born. After three years of shape-and-medium-shifting, the members of the audiovisual trio once again turn their thoughtful gaze towards […]
Ofer Laufer is an artist and craftsman who builds structures, objects, and machines. The artifacts he produces with his own hands, carry a very personal, technical, and poetic signature. He often places his sculptures in public spaces, creating interventions that respond to and influence the environment. Additionally, he works as a lighting and set designer, […]
Documentary theater After becoming a mother, the artist Galia Einey recorded life for two years. She recorded everything: the changing relationship and the growing child, the music at bedtime, words said in living room conversations, and words left unspoken in the silences. She pressed record, stop, and record again, as an act of reaching out […]
A hybrid wooden structure, between a prayer chapel and a barn or a makeshift cowshed, is the backdrop for a journey along personal stories, like a haunted movement between an inner world and concrete reality. In Tamar Ooserhof’s new work, the multifaceted structure is simultaneously a theater stage, a cinema, and a public hall, serving […]

Having entered our repertoire, we are thrilled and excited to open a new year with a festive first performance in Hazira Theatre, Jerusalem. In her poetic horror ritual, Mendelson oscillates between the sensual-pagan […]
Ville Radieuse is a sound installation that turns light and form into sound. An array of enchanted machines spin transparent discs on which various shapes are printed. The light rays refracted through them are converted into sound waves. The sounds heard in Radius Villa are an analog and direct expression of form and light. Ville […]
After the heartbreaking opening of 2022’s Autumn Cult festival, Nurit Dreamer returns with the promise that you will never walk alone. It is the justice league champions’ team, a derby of thoughts and souls. Always know that whether you win or lose, “you’ll never walk alone.” Dreamer has brought together Jerusalem women of different ages and backgrounds […]
A habitat where you can gaze: at human-animals, movements, and a winding line. On moving closer and further away, human development and withdrawal. On all that did not survive over time, on all that is here, on the stage, on an illusion. Forest threshold is an exercise at retrieving the wild and an […]
On a big stage comprised of small pieces, labors a gang of a rebellious wild type. They carry a small abandoned world, and wear it like jewelry. They tens their muscles to balance themselves in a hastily-made reality. Ready for action, they use the wall (that pretends to be the floor) to launch themselves into […]
