Tal Gur and Jasmin Avissar collaborate in a multi disciplinary performance of music and dance and theater, to examine the possibilities of performing arts to act as a tool for redefining family narratives and identities.

The performance follows the story of Arye and Sonja, Tal Gur`s grandparents who survived the Holocaust, on their route of refuge after World War II, portrayed through letters Arye wrote to his sister from their journey.

Since bringing mind crossing  into open space as a "walking act", we attempt to find connecting points, concrete or abstract with the histories and stories of the place where we Iive and work. Thus try and create a sphere where we invite the audience to experince their own associations and mirrors for their own stories.

​

from the choreographer's notes:

"...In this performance we try to create an abstract space where all these stories; our fictional figures and situations, the embedded history of the city and literature  texts representing different voices in society in the past and present , all have an indirect dialogue, offering each time a different reflection, an invitation to connect and create our own associations about the past - the personal or collective past, and how it affects us today."
