Drawing on his family’s Holocaust history, his own experience of disability, and Rudolf Steiner’s Philosophy of Freedom, Iddo Oberski weaves a deeply personal journey with his onstage puppet counterpart, Svjetlana, a dialogue that constantly surprises and reveals new layers of understanding.
In Balancing in Freedom, Iddo fuses storytelling, movement, puppetry, visual art, music, spoken word, magic, and philosophy into a living artwork that shifts between intimacy and spectacle, exploring what it means to be human, and our ongoing search for freedom, connection, and meaning. Just as you think you know where it’s heading, the performance transforms again, surprising, thought-provoking, and always engaging.
Following a sold-out, standing-ovation premiere at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, Balancing in Freedom returns to the stage in 2026. Moving, insightful, and unlike any other show, it invites every audience member to take away something unique and personal.
