Schism
by Israel Aloni and cast
Schism is a multidisciplinary dance work, created by Israel Aloni and cast, which explores if and how we accept the limits of existence and how it affects our perception of the world. The work addresses the notion of borders and how they impact the conceptualisation of the world within the hu-WO-man experience. Aloni takes on the challenge to describe the world by alternative means as they also draw from their personal experience trying to find their place in the world as a gender-fluid individual who is also diasporic-nomadic Jew.
Schism takes on the challenge of describing the phenomenological world (how we experience the world) by alternative means and thus challenge the boundaries between citizenship and prison, between desire and obsession, between reason and madness, between us and them. The intimate performance takes place in a unique eye-shaped space which contributes to the sense of blurred boundary between audience and participants.
Note: Schism includes moments in which the performers appear topless.
Something to do, someone to love, something to look forward to
by Lee Brummer and cast
A new multidisciplinary work which advances conversions of movement and text mediation in a performance context. Lee Brummer, together with the cast develops a unique and brave language which utilises particular and articulated movements with spoken text. Both are equally important for the creation of the dramatic content of the piece. The piece sits on the exciting border between contemporary dance and physical theatre and presents a new threshold of possibilities as the two mediums intertwine.
Gordon Livingstone M.D. writes: The three components of happiness are something to do, someone to love, and something to look forward to.
Based on an interview of one woman's life story, Brummer and the performers tell the personal tale about the fight for a better future and what one individual went through to find it. The story includes her search for safety and health, fighting for her family and for herself in a new context, while constantly having to prove her worth and gain trust over and over again. This is a story about the somethings to do, the someones to love and the things there are yet to look forward to.
Note: The spoken text delivered in the work (script based on the original interview) is in English.
