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.

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 […]
“All about eve” is a collaboration between director Ariel Efraim Ashbel, performer Efrat Aviv and light artist Omer Sheizaf. In a space which resembles a combination of a gym, a children’s playground and a torture chamber, a performer is negotiating different ideas of performing, ranging from the entertaining to the sculptural, activating the space being activated […]

Almost all of my thoughts about body and touch begins with fear. Be aware, take care, minimize yourself. It is so deeply rooted. I realized too late that it could be different, I want it to be different. Hila Golan is a creator, writer and director. She created and worked in various theaters in Israel, […]
A movement performance combining visual images and sound. Power is a raw material, a driving force. It creates and destroys, gives and takes, expands and deflates, a vital condition for existence. New realms emerge through actions that blur between body, material, beauty, violence and humor. Within the body’s persistent resemblance to a sculpture and its […]
A mechanical jungle, complex and full of life, awaits onstage. The gaze that tries to penetrate the stage meets dozens of eyes that are staring back from a darkness that is crowded with machines, devices, lights, and whispers. Three people and nine robotic monkeys share one stage: after five years of meticulous manual building, the […]
Buckets of salt are poured on the floor. Tiny creatures build roads and pathways across a sea of white. A small hand pops up among the particles of salt, trying to cross the hill. The camera follows it, and projects its escape on a screen. Using a movie camera, a Puppet, and half a ton […]
