A ship in the heart of the seaA ship in the heart of the sea is the central metaphor of Niv Sheinfeld and Oren Laor's Ship of Fools. The ship is a temporary narrow space, without a real foothold. The people crowded in the ship are individuals who, due to the circumstances of the journey, gather together as a group.Ship of Fools demands responses to situations of uncertainty and danger and arouses anticipation and the thrill of the unknown.June 9 at 9:00 p.m.,Jerusalem Theatre, Rebecca Crown Auditorium.

Approx. 1hr15, no intermission.A freestyle diveHamitzpeh is a freestyle dive into the imaginary world of images of the Clipa Theater, deep into the multi-sensual, abstract, boundless experience of ongoing visions and sound.Hamitzpeh explores different versions of archetypical dreams of yearning, desire and fear. As though immersed in deep water, the performance begins from a place of non-seeing. The soft floor is for sitting or lying down. The sounds are enveloping and the black space is a magic box of images, dolls and objects – almost entirely black. Black on black, the stage pictures appear from absolute darkness to minimal visibility and tease the observer like the fire sparks of the little match seller.This unique visual experience has been adapted to the black space of the (former) Tel Ad Studios in the Jerusalem Theater as a salute to the Israel Festival jubilee celebrations.June 9, 12, 13, 14 at 5:00 p.m., 8:30 p.m., June 10 at 1:00 p.m., June 11 at 9:00 p.m.,Jerusalem Theater, The New Studio.
