dozens of animals—machines—robots, developed over many years for performances presented on prominent stages in Israel and around the world.

Thousands have already experienced Safari, but this year it appears in a special edition adapted to the unique stage of HaZira Theatre in Talpiyot, Jerusalem. In this robotic wildlife reserve, one can observe every detail of the animal sculptures. The visitor are invited to take a close look and discover how these animals were constructed with anatomical precision and an almost vanished form of craftsmanship that breathes life into them, giving them movement and human-like expressions. The mechanical-animalistic nature of the sculptures transforms the stage into a playground of imagination, where even the light and sound enveloping the Safari are based on robots and programmed patterns.
The journey lasts approximately one hour.

Following the Safari journey, a creative workshop developed by the artist will be held, where children can design mechanical animals from their imagination. Each animal will be photographed, and then the materials will be recycled. The photographed animals will join hundreds of others in Safari’s digital gallery on Instagram. Participation in the workshop is a meaningful, creative experience that enables the children a strong sense of accomplishment.
Workshop tickets are sold on-site (separate ticket). One accompanying parent enters for free.
Workshop duration: approx. 45 minutes.

This project is presented as part of the “SidraTarbut” series, funded by the Mandel Foundation and managed by the Jerusalem Foundation.
