TIGERS A ScreenStage performance
Documentation: Oren Mansura
From the program:
'There’s a tiger in every cat; and vice versa'
The work connects the language of a physical theater with video projections - pre-recorded and live. It seeks to expose the pendulum-like mechanism, driven by guilt, self-blame,
and confession; the ethics expressed by the gap between intimacy - in the sense of inner-freedom - and obedience (to the law, to rules of the game).
TIGERS intends to question whether the force needed for ‘jumping over a wall’ is a natural resource, or does it depend on the intensity of resistance.
Critics:
“Theatrical masterpiece. a French movie…”
“TIGERS by Sharon Reshef Armony, in collaboration with Tomer Zirkilevich, is a screen - stage performance, and I admit that from its first moment to the last they managed to surprise me with the connection between the myriad components of their piece, which is greater than the sum of each of the qualitative components…
...any sequence of associations, each angle of the wall, in every circle that the dancers create, in a duet or solo, and the trio, the impression that remains is the throbbing human heart of this excellent piece.” (Zvi Goren, Habama, 04/12/2013)
