SurFace

Created and performed by Nofar Sela

A participatory performance for a land and an audience

It’s been a long time since we’ve actually spoken with it. It seems we have lost our way to it. Maybe the map can no longer be read? In order to draw a new map, we would need to sort out our relationship with the land, as we pass through the geography, the body, and the heart. The Land of Israel will be attending the show, and it has a few questions to ask you. SurFace was supported by a grant from the Rabinovich Foundation for the Arts and was part of the 2017 A-Genre Festival at Tmu-na Theatre in Tel Aviv.

 

“A brave theatrical act!”
