SAND STORIES

Created and Directed by Moshe Malka

Lighting Design: Nehorai Levidor; Music: Adi Hayyat; Video and Animation: Moshe Atar

Dance theatre performed without words.
Girl. Sand. Drawing.
Drawings turn into characters, characters turn into stories, a girl draws in the sand – drawings become things, things become characters, characters become stories, and are erased.
An allegory of love: a play without words, modern clowning, animation, music, and physical theatre.
