Sounds Alive
You might think this story is about you, but in fact, it's about the transparent maidens whose fate is already sealed, about the closeness between them that hurts them and about this delicate connection that is disappearing. They just want to sing, talk and shout but all that comes out of their mouths is ah, ah, ah.

"Ofra Idel's work at the "MASH Dance Hose", created in the shadow of the October Revolution, reveals the difficulties, hopes, and pain of women in war." Ahinoam Sela, Makor Rishon
"The extraordinary and disturbing dance performance: Sound Alive brings the voices (literally) of women in the war that has moved us" Jerusalem Times
"The show touches on the guts of the period in a poetic way, full of compassion, and with images that everyone can identify with" i travel jerusalem
In the work Sounds Alive, two women meet during a time of war and share a shared destiny. They are seemingly inseparable, sometimes enemies, sometimes sisters, but both are deeply connected to place, time, and each other.
The shared journey brings experiences of closeness and distance, strength and fragility. They fight each other and confront extreme situations to which they respond with different frequencies and intensities.
Throughout the show, the characters try to sing, shout, and speak, but only make one sound through which they tell their story. The show intertwines familiar and abstract images from the journey they have embarked on.
The show was produced in Jerusalem during the war in Israel from a female perspective and is relevant to various struggles between peoples, between cultures, and between identities that exist within us.
The performance premiered at the From Jaffa to Agripas Festival in July 2024, and was later presented at the Quinzena de Dança de Almada Festival in Portugal in 2025.
Duration: 50 minutes

Amfibi – A Dance and Multimedia Performance for the Whole Family
Two characters live in a world of screens and technology, so absorbed in their devices that they forget how to communicate with one another. In a show full of imagination and humor, they embark on a magical journey back in time to the prehistoric era to rediscover technology.
Along the journey, they explore and play with the strange devices they discover, merge with the screen, and even worship it—until they relearn how to create genuine connection beyond the screens.
After the fifth sun
As the fifth sun sets and the old world crumbles, a group of survivors stands in a twilight realm between a shattered reality and a world yet to be born. In this liminal space, they walk the fine line between the memory of a lost culture and the need to reinvent themselves. Through their journey, they undergo metamorphoses, hoping to cross the abyss toward a new era.
